QTP choose problem

[Deskin, Bob]

The Define is done before the choose since it's a DEFINE with PARM. I tried
much the same thing in 7.10F2 and it worked. Is FACILITY_PRODUCT a character
item? Although if the item type is worng you get a different message. I
suggest trying a later version. After all 7.10E1 is not Year 2000 compliant.
