Kenneth, just for a laugh ...
The second line of your sig implies that the variable "foxpro" is an object because "relive" is a property of it. Therefore, the first line needs to be changed in order to avoid an operator type mismatch;
if foxpro.status == "dying"
foxpro.relive = .t.
foxpro.status = "Alive and well, baby!"
endif
