RETURN 1

This little snippet of code hangs on the change event of an edit box that receives a key. The change allows the retrival of information to 'stuff' in another control (@window]REPORT_PERSON_NAME). This works fine as shown. However, I'd like to control the visability of a couple of other controls based on wheather or not there is infact a key in the .REPORTED_BY control. When I remove the comment marks, to activate this part of the code, the text does not display even though it seems to be set when I view the properties in the debugger. Where am I going wrong?

Paxton,

The line "end end else" should be "end else".

C,

Yes, but the compiler discovers that. It's not one of those syntax errors that go undetected until you run the program.
