You have declared Question as a var type. The sytem is just telling you that it cannot figure out what actual type it should be, so you need to make your declaration specific.

Thanks. We must get the word "Reply" translated into more languages (including English). ;)

Or may be a little darker 'Reply' even without mouse over on the comment. :)

Well apart from fixing the obvious error above, I can only suggest more time reading the documentation.

When answering a question please:

Read the question carefully.
Understand that English isn't everyone's first language so be lenient of bad spelling and grammar.
If a question is poorly phrased then either ask for clarification, ignore it, or edit the question and fix the problem. Insults are not welcome.
Don't tell someone to read the manual. Chances are they have and don't get it. Provide an answer or move on to the next question.
