Naomi,

this is quite possible (Simply my lack of english. The word can be used both ways in german). What I mean is that the method does to much. You have a better word for it?

AFK

>Sorry for jumping it without reading the whole thread. I think the word "overloading" can be misleading. I was thinking about it as the child class may introduce new behavior and disable parent's class behavior. Apparently I used the word wrongly since it means, that within the same class we may have several methods with the same name but different parameters doing different things. This kind of overloading is obviously not supported by VFP.
