BOb,

If you make the following change to the Framework's CStonefield class, it will accomplish something similar to what you had discovered:

CStoneField.Init()

Change...
This.Parent.AddObject('oMeta', 'MetaMgr', This.Parent.lDebugMode, ;
This.cMetaDataDir)

To...
This.Parent.oMeta = CREATEOBJ('MetaMgr', This.Parent.lDebugMode, ;
This.cMetaDataDir)

In addition, the new instructions in the Developer's Guide include information about adding an "oMeta" property to the application object.

I have also made the following change to CFormMgr.AutoArrangeForms() so you don't need to add the lAutoCenter property to the MetaMgr:

CFormMgr.AutoArrangeForms()

Changed…
IF TYPE("loForm") == "O" AND ;
UPPER(loForm.BaseClass) != 'TOOLBAR' AND ;
loForm.lAutoCenter = .T.

To…
IF TYPE("loForm") == "O" AND ;
UPPER(loForm.BaseClass) != 'TOOLBAR' AND ;
TYPE('loForm.lAutoCenter') == 'L' AND ;
loForm.lAutoCenter = .T.
