The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, version 3.0 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

If the last line of any form method is a variable assignment, the debug window
doesn't refresh the variable assignment value.

STATUS
======

This behavior is by design. This is expected behavior because all local
variables are destroyed right after the method scope is lost.

RESOLUTION
==========

Create a form property that has the same variable name.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

     WAIT WINDOW "Variable assignment" NOWAIT
