wdapp compiling error

Belias

The following error appears when I try to compile a form in nav 5.0:
note that i pasted the variables from a 2.60 form (where everything compiles). Obviously the varible is NOT defined more than once

The variable WDAPP::MAILMERGEDATASOURCEVALI is defined more than once.

An example could be: 'File' exists as both a data type and a global variable.

Thanks in advance

---After some years---
the solution is already written somewhere else in the forum, but i'll post it also here for completion:
declare the automation as a local variable, because the event name of the automation is too long and it seems that nav take just the first 30 characters or so, thus these events:
MAILMERGEDATASOURCEVALIDATE
MAILMERGEDATASOURCEVALIDATE2
appears the same to nav

In case you have problems with a local var you could use this solution

and after some months, i also discovered why declaring the variable as local solves the problem:
from the online help:

When you declare a global variable of the type Automation, you can specify whether you want to receive events.

thus, if you declare it as local, there are no external events, and the triggers for them are not added to NAV! \:D/
