Going between Painter and Code - Is there a trick?

I am fairly new to WF 533. In my old version, I could go back and forth between code view and painter very easily. Now I'm having problems with opening a procedure in painter that is near the end of my fex.

I get error messages about my parameters, and some master file messages (error parsing master file).

I'm just wondering if this is something I'm gonna have to work around, or are there some tricks that make it easier?

Thanks!

With version 5.3.x, one thing that you really need to do is make sure that all parameters have a default value. This allows dev studio to resolve all potental issues before opening the painter.

That should help with some of your problems.

I have also found that using &vars in the TABLE FILE request cause problems.
