Is This.Fields VFP collection? How is it created?
>I'm having problems working with Collections (not surprisingly, since this is my very first time creating a collection).
>
>I have a form with a collection named .Fields .... This.Fields (I've inherited this from somebody else). Each item in This.Fields is an object with the same simple list of properties.
>
>I want to copy the entire collection into an object I've created called loProperties. Now, I don't want to copy an object reference, since my goal is to later compare the values in This.Fields with loProperties.Fields. to see which have changed.
>
>My code to do this follows. When done, however, loProperties.Fields(1) does not have the same list of properties as This.Fields(1) --- it actually looks like a collection itself.

>Can anybody identify what I'm doing wrong here? (Note: loFields looks like the collection I would expect ... but loProperties.Fields doesn't)
