Strange compile error

[Peter Haworth]

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.

This is all on 5.5.4 by the way
