Thanks Hugo,

I'm on VFP 8 SP1.
The help file says:
GETPEM( ) Function
Returns the current value for a property or program code for an event or method at design time.

I was hoping to use GETPEM( ) to correlate with the 'Source line contents' provided by ASTACKINFO(); thereby confirming the correct ancestry class.
Experimenting a bit with though I find that at runtime (at least with the Professional Version), it will return the value of properties.
However when attempting to retrieve the contents of a method, it only returns an empty string.

Notwithstanding, by contrast, if I get an object reference to the class via ASELOBJ() at design time, it does indeed return the contents of methods & events.

Thanks,
- Frank
