>>THIS is a reserved word in VFP as an object reference to the current object. THISFORM, and THISFORMSET are also reserved. So I don't think you will succeed at creating a property named THIS.

>In VFP6 you could do the same. The fun comes when you create a method for this_access in VFP6. As the usual behaviour the method is triggered when the user accesses any property of the object. VFP6 displays the Access checkbox as ON when you see the property in the edit properties dialog but uses the this_acces for the entire object and calls it just once... which is how it should have been.

Kamal,

xBase has never stopped us from using keywords. It's sort of like we've been handed a 44 magnum and can either aim at the target or at our own foot. :-)
