By any chance is your condition binding trying to make use of an attribute from an instance attribute fetched from your main object? e.g. document->user->name (where to find the value of 'name' you have to first fetch the instance called 'user' from instance 'document').<BR>
<BR>
Sometimes trying to get a value in this way causes grief at runtime if the middle instance attribute in such a chain ends up being null, e.g. ex_object_not_found is raised. This error may only manifest itself from time to time depending on the data involved and would not picked up as a syntax error in the definition.<BR>
<BR>
Or, perhaps the condition trying to use a virtual attribute of an object where the code behind it may occasionally raise <STRONG>ex_property_not_found</STRONG>? This kind of thing cause some grief at runtime, particularly with binding because it is treated as a show-stopping error.<BR>
