Hi All,

Just coding my first _Access method as I found a use for it when using Word automation. Instead of trying to keep a property .ioDocuments up to date when creating a Word instance, I instead tried to use an .ioDocuments_Access() method.

Question: am I supposed to set .ioDocuments within that code or am I supposed to return the reference from that method (or both); I read the "help" file but it did not make it clear.

* ioDocuments_Access()
* first way:

WITH THIS

IF NOT ISNULL(.ioServer)  && Word automation server open etc
   STORE .ioServer.Documents TO .ioDocuments
ELSE
   STORE .NULL. TO .ioDocuments
ENDIF

ENDWITH

RETURN

** second way, return the reference instead

LOCAL loDocuments

IF NOT ISNULL(.ioServer)
   STORE .ioServer.Documents TO loDocuments
ELSE
   STORE .NULL. to loDocuments
ENDIF

ENDWITH

RETURN (loDocuments)
