Hi Jacque,

Adding "control" worked but I'm still puzzled as to the issue for a couple
of reasons.

pitemname is guaranteed to contain the abbreviated name of a control in the
referenced group since that's how I populate the menu.  Shouldn't this be
something that's checked at run time rather than compile time?

Also, I could swear I've seen runtime errors with constructs that like
"control tVar" where tVar contains an abbreviated or long id/name, u.e. one
that starts with a control tyype.

Anyway, thanks for the solution
