      ' results.AddPropertyError("<Error-Message>")



    End Sub

Hi Kevin,

The GUID data type wasn't supported in Beta 2. Please wait until Tuesday for the official release - you may be pleasnatly surprised ;-)

Really enjoying the light Switch stuff by the way! I am more design orientated so this GUI is very neat.
