Note that getting the customProp of an object where the property doesn't exist will return <empty> but won't trigger any error. If you want to "catch" this then don't use a try statement, do something like put the myProperty of btn "x" into tProp if tProp <> empty then -- do something with the property else -- handle "error" here end if -- Peter Peter M.
