Zakaria,

>That is how it's done in c#. I want to do this in visual foxpro. But I am asking myself if there are better OOP techniques. Furhermore is the above a known OOP Pattern, so yes how is it called. Moreover how would you set it up in foxpro? Especially using foxpro flexibility to model the data, which in c# can't be done easily . For example modeling the Insured data would just need a table or cursor with fields like "Name","Age","EndAge",... With just a scatter memvar you can make an object of it and pass it as an object in the above chain, am I right?

Yes, it's very easy to create a data object like this and pass it around your system. I can either be just a short lifetime LOCAL object:

local loData

scatter name loData memo

or it can be a property of your class itself:

scatter name this.oInsuredData memo

>Sorry for the lengthy message and my poor enlish.

Your English is quite good.
