The following code is a translation of a VB macro to create a new time card. The issue that I am having is that the Compose statement on line #37 set the view's parent to null. This causes the SetValue on line #49 to fail with a NullReferenceException. Everything works if I set the field variable after the compose statement (move line #10 to be after line #37). As I said, this is a straight translation of the VB script generated by the macro recorder.

Any ideas?
