Hi Jacque, Yes, definitely abbrev name as in field "myField". However, there's no way for the compile process to know the contents of pitemname at runtime so I don't think that's what is causing the error. As mentioned, adding the word "control" before pitemname makes everything work but also causes me more consternation since - control field "myField" - is not a valid expression, at least I don't think it is.
Okay, too weird. All I can think of is that during compilation the engine doesn't know what will be in the variable, so it errors because you haven't specified that it's a control. Then during runtime, the engine strips out the extra reference in order to keep us from hurting ourselves. Maybe. I know it ignores a few other duplicate (or missing) terms.
Mark The RunRev would know, or maybe we can get Mark The Wieder to comb through the source code and find out. In fact, keeping him busy might save us from some of those bad puns.
