David,

Let's say you do this: oMyObj=CREATEOBJECT('MyContainerClass'). Now to refer to the container, you would ues oMyObj (the object variable), to refer to an object named ObjName contained in that container, use oMyObj.ObjName.

>In the VFP Help under Name Property is the note:
>Note If the object is the first object in the object hierarchy (that is, the outermost container object), use the object variable to reference the object instead of the Name property.

>Can someone explain just what that means?
