And in some others it will be 1 parameters, 2, etc. Say, I want to limit to 3 parameters. So I will add 3 more parameters to the function OpenForm(). But not all of them should be passed to the NEWOBJECT(). Short of creating DO CASE with a CASE depending on how many parameters were received (using PCOUNT())by OpenForm(), is there a way to do it generically?

I asked the exact same question about a year ago. The suggestion was to use the generic parameter object.

I think this is the thread Re: Optional number of parameters and protected procedure Thread #1182425 Message #1182500 (you can start from that message down)

BTW, in MereMortals DoForm method uses case statements for number of parameters....
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
