         Option Explicit
   
         Private Myfunc1
   
         Private Sub UserControl_InitProperties()
             Myfunc1 = "Hi"
         End Sub
   
         Public Property Let Myfunc1(btest)
             ' notice marz does not exist (should be btest)
                   Myfunc1 = marz
         End Property
   
         Public Property Get ftest()
             Myfunc1 = Myfunc1
         End Property
