Hi Nigel,

Sorry about confusing you. I had not stated my point correctly. VFP has a problem when using CREATEOBJECT() to create an instance of a form and you want to pass an array as a parameter to it. In such a situation if your array is a property of an object then you can pass the object itself as a parameter when creating the instance of a form... and you can access the array through the parameter object.

You are doing something totally different so don't worry about it. < g >

>Thanks for that - it worked fine. I'm confused by your point about 'unless the array exists as a property of the object'? My situation is that I have a NetManager class method being passed either a single network connection name or an array of networks to connect to. There is no storage of the array so no property is needed because the array is passed as reference.

>>>I am trying to create a method in a class which can received as a parameter either two variables or a single array. I can't find any way of identifying if a variable is of type 'Array'. The TYPE() function only returns the type of the contents. Does anybody know how I can do this?? TIA,
