Winarto,
As soon as Load method finish m.trxDate goes out of scope. You can't access to that variable anymore (unless it's public and public is not suggested).
Create a custom property on your form, say oRecord. In form load then:

scatter name this.oRecord memo

Any method/event then could access it. ie: myButtonClick:

m.trxDateAtLoad = thisform.oRecord.trxDate

PS: Behavior is still like it was in Fox2x. Think of a method as a procedure you called (m.trxDate created in that procedure wouldn't be available upon return).
