hokey work-around is a synonym for Xbase code isn't it? *bg*

You can copy the properties to/from local variables that you can pass by ref. Of maybe rewrite your function so that returns the value instead of altering a passed parameter. In all the development I've done so far in VFP I haven't had to pass a property by reference to anything but one API call I was using where I had to resort to using a local temp.
