VFP8 tries to evaluate the caption if it starts with an equal sign (=). Some times this is a good thing, like caption=date(), but sometimes this causes an error. To fix, add a space before the equal sign (' ='). For obvious reason this only causes a problem if you set the caption in the property sheet, not if you set it programmatically.

>I'm experiencing that placing "=>" in the CAPTION property is invalid. But in your code you can do THISFORM.mylabel.CAPTION = '=>'. I think this is strange.

>>Is there a centralized bug list for VFP 8? I am running into a problem that is hard to describe in just one sentence and so it is hard to search the KB or Googlle for it. I'd like to scan the known bug list, but MS seems to make that hard to find . . .
