>Once a form is showing, I need to ascertain if the value of a property has changed from the value originally set in the PEM sheet. I have tried using PEMSTATUS(object,property,0), but this returns .T. even if the value was changed manually from the default value in the PEM sheet at design-time. I would have expected the result to be .F. until the value was changed once the program had started, not changed from its default value at designtime.

Are you looking for something like

local luCurrProp, luStartProp
luCurrProp = MyObject.MyProperty
= MyObject.ResetToDefault("MyProperty")
luStartProp = MyObject.MyProperty
MyObject.MyProperty = m.luCurrProp
if m.luCurrProp != luStartProp
  Wait Wind "Somebody Switched MyProperty"
endif

?
