Hi David,

Didn't find anything odd in the properties for the objects. And it was fine last Friday. No new properties was added since then just code changes in the methods.

Thanks,
Arriyel

>>I have a VFP form that I can't open in VFP8. I was able to open and edit it just last Friday but today it keeps giving me the 'Syntax error' message whenever I try to open the form. I can open and edit it in VFP7 but not in VFP8.
