Sorry for kicking.

Findings:
3 TextBox controls on form with a .Tag property filled with a word.
Using the Left(TextBox#,2) on them returns for all 3 the 2 letters.
If the first .Tag is cleared ( in property sheet) the Left does not 
work any more on the other 2 Controls.
The 3 TextBox.Tag are read with a Sub in a For Next loop. 
Using a temp string variable for the .Tag does work.

Syntax say: Result = Left$ ( String [ , Length ] ) 
Tag is however a Variant. In VB this is alowed as substitut for String
and I belived it was in Gambas too.

Any time to confirm the behaviour/problem?

TIA
