I think you should look for ANY property set with an "=" in the first character. Apparently, changing it to have a blank before the "=" stops the error.

good luck

>I am converting to VFP8, and a few of my forms originally developed in VFP7 give a popup message window that says "Sytax error." and that is all. If I click OK, it goes ahead and loads (or runs) the form, without any errors that I can detect yet. I cannot see where to start looking for this syntax error. I put some messagebox calls in the form, and I can tell that it completes the form.load() fine, then it gives this error, and I click OK, then the form.init() fires.
