Offline Form

Hello!
Running PC-DMIS 2013 MR1 offline
------------------------------------------------------
Basically I have a form that I use for all of my online inspections. I'm programming this part offline, and I want to use the same form.
This form holds a bunch of necessary variables, and adjusts a lot of programs at run time (allowing the user to select specific features, to show or not show loading instructions, enter the part number, etc.

Well it doesn't work and I'm not entirely sure why.

It works fine online, so I would assume it's got something to do with that. (To clarify the offline setup is connected to the internet, just not a CMM)
I can set variables, but they don't update from the form. The construction is exactly the same as my online, which works without issue (and rather well!)

Thoughts?

Make sure the location is in the same spot. For example: C:\Users\Public\Documents\Forms and not tied into a location based on the user that is signed into Windows.

I made a copy of the online version and saved it to a location on my pc, then I created a brand new program linking the form to the location, which is the Reporting folder in a custom directory (P:\Offline Files\Reporting\<formname>.form)
I'm able to access the form, manipulate and edit the form, click buttons, enter data in text fields, click checkboxes, etc. But the data doesn't save and it's quite strange. I created a poor man's debugging comment right after the form to test all of the variables, and they remain their defined values (with variable definition before the form, per syntax)
I went into the form to make sure the variables and names match up and everything looks good.

Hmm. There is an issue with a custom report template, and this might have some variable handling that fixes it. I will get back to you after some testing.
Ugh, this is why I shouldn't post before coffee!

Ah, I see my issue. Apparently I had set variables to names on the form, instead of values.

For example bWorkOrder=VWork_Order, instead of bWorkOrder.Text=VWork_Order
