Probably, I am missing something in a sequence of events for a form, but I had an error
1925 unknown member topic in Activate event
until I started to check on type in a code below

*Activate event
IF TYPE('thisform.topic' ) = 'O'
WITH thisform.topic.Items 
    IF  .itemcount > 0 AND .selectcount = 0 
        .defaultitem = .itembyindex(0) 
        .SelectItem(0) = .T.
    ENDIF 
endwith    
ENDIF 

I have no rational explanation what's going on. I've checked it in VFP7 and VFP8. Any ideas ?

TIA
Michael
