Re: Strange compile error

Hi Mark, Jacque's suggestion of putting "control" before "pitemname" is working for me although, as mentioned in a prior email, I'm not sure why, but I'll take it. You're right, using IDs would require me to keep a list of the ids related to each abbrev name in a custom prop somewhere, not a big d
