>>I have seen code whereby a reference was created to the class library, and all objects within that library were "hung off" that reference, thereby allowing you to access all objects within that library from a single reference point. To be fair, I didn't say it was a native VFP command, but then I don't generally make assumptions and would have enquired further before racing off on a wholly unrelated tangent.

thank you for "Some Readers". LOL

The problem is that he is talking about something he has seen somewhere and put it in some UT Category.
that I do assumptions on his labyrinthian texts / Category isn't my fault.

But I'm broadminded, so I've coded a little bit around (Tea break)
