I don't know for sure, but this sounds like a problem that I had once 

while trying to use variables and expressions. Everything began to 

work as expected when I realized that I was refering to my value as a 

string literal and not an expression. In the Instance Properties 

window, make sure that the button to the right of the Value/Variable 

input boxes are set to expression and not string literal (an = 

instead of "abc") where need be.
