>Is it possible to force Foxpro to instantiate the objects on a form in a specific order? If so, how?

John,

I think, it is possible, e.g. you can place the objects on the form in the order you want them to instantiate and you may want to use "Format/Send to back" menu for the object you want instantiated first.

However, you should not rely on the object instantiation this way. If some of your objects depend on other objects at their Init, you may want to re-think the whole scheme.

Would you please elaborate on why do you need to know the instantiation order and what you're trying to achieve?

Thanks.
