[AccessD] Error help with upgrade from A03 to A13

[John R Bartow]

Yes, it appears that is it. Now to research the old code and figure out why.


I was under the impression that only built in properties displayed when
doing this but I will double check. That would be a big help if it did.
Thanks

My guess is that you have not created the property yet (or set it's
value) and it is returning a null.  Or you are mis-spelling the property
name.

IIRC you can iterate the properties collection looking at the property
names.
