Hi Christian

You're absolutely right. That's why I have decided to drop forever DO FORM .... TO myVar. Instead, I'll use a parameter object all the time -- I even have added a oParameter property and ThisForm.oParameter = tcParObject in my base class. I guess this is a more modern approach anyway.

Thanks.
