You lost me here.
>Another strange thing, and it threw me for awhile: Stepping through items in the collection (this is in VFP9), to access the first item, I can only see it using: mycollection.item[0] ! the same as in dotnet. Strange... I figured that would blow up in VFP... I only tried item[0] (as a fluke) after the item count was 2 but item[2] blew up yet when I checked the value in item[1] it was the 2nd item in the collection... It is a net component instantiated in VFP9 via com, but I really didn't know about this until now...
