Grady,

VFP caches class definitions in memory. If you put an expression into the value for a property, that expression is evaluated only once, the very first time the class is instantiated. Every other instance of the class will have the cached value assigned to the property.

To make it truly dynamic you must make this assignment in a line of code. If you put it in the Init() method then it will be evaluated for each instance.
