          Option Explicit
    
          Private Myfunc1
    
          Private Sub UserControl_InitProperties()
              Myfunc1 = "Hi"
          End Sub
    
          Public Property Let Myfunc1(btest)
              ' notice marz does not exist (should be btest)
                    Myfunc1 = marz
          End Property
    
          Public Property Get ftest()
              Myfunc1 = Myfunc1
          End Property
