Public Variables 'Not Found'

[Jeff_Stone]

I have the following page init and load procs.

proc page1_init()
public proc_date, chose_deal, display_chosen
//use deallist597 alias deals597
proc_date = date()
chose_deal = "F "
display_chosen = .t.
endproc

proc page1_load()
messagebox("Made it 1")
// select chosen,long_name,filename,settle_dt from deallist597 into cursor deals597 readwrite
m_deals = lianja.getelementbyID("gDealList")
//m_deals.addItems("select * from deals597")
m_deals.addItems("select chosen,long_name,filename,settle_dt from deallist597")
endproc

Even though the 3 public variables listed in the init() proc actually are showing up correctly in the displayed Page1 (attached), the Debug window is producing 'not found' messages:

Not sure what I'm doing incorrectly and would appreciate feedback. tia Jeff
