Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a new ActiveX control.

2. View-code of control and place the following text:

         Option Explicit
   

         Private Myfunc1
   

         Private Sub UserControl_InitProperties()
             Myfunc1 = "Hi"
         End Sub
   
         Public Property Let Myfunc1(bar)
             ' notice marz does not exist (should be bar)
                   Myfunc1 = marz
         End Property
   
         Public Property Get foo()
             Myfunc1 = Myfunc1
         End Property
   
   

3. Close the control.

4. Add a new standard.exe project.

5. Place the control on the form. You'll get a compile error on the assignment in the Myfunc1 property let:

   "variable not defined"

6. Halt execution (run->end).

• No error

• You get the following error:
