There's always been a split in the VFP community about MemberData usage ... yes, there are some performance hits, but it increases readability a lot.

I use it all the time, and have never been aware of any performance degradation doing so.

No doubt it depends on the machine your working on, the configuration and depth of your class structure, and how sensitive you are to speed issues.

In any case, if you are using PEM Editor, there's a preference item so that it won't create _MemberData if it doesn't already exist.

>Thanks, Agnes. I downloaded PEMEditor yesterday and added a few new properties and methods. I will add them in lower case from now on to avoid the bloat and speed reduction.
