Well, if you don't want to try to mess with hacking the DBC that way (wuss! ;) ), why don't you just STRTRAN() that memo to change "this." to "othis.", declare an "othis" object, add an .oapplication with a .osecurity, etc. and then run your program.

I suppose you could try declaring a "this" object, but I just assume that wouldn't work.

Or if every "this" reference is really a "this.oapplication.osecurity.cuseid", just Strtran() the whole thing to "Lcuserid" and declare that as a public variable before running your code.
