Hi Dragan,

>For as long as this thread continues, I'm coming to the conclusion that this.references[] is not simply protected from programmer's touch, but that it simply doesn't exist.

While I can't say for sure, I doubt that there's anyhing like a reference collection in VFP. Otherwise we wouldn't have all the bugs that are caused by wrong reference counters, like the PEMSTATUS() bug in VFP 5 or the bug in VFP 6 that decrements the reference counter when you try to create an assign method on an object property. Also the _ObjectReference() and _ObjectRelease() methods in the VFP API won't work with such a collection. Everything we can see indicates that'S there really just a reference counter.
