This is not related to object refs. In VFP, when a value is assigned to an array (used as simple var, not as array), all elements in the array are set to that value. Ex:

dimension a[100]
for i = 1 to 100
a[i] = i
endfor
*-- Here all elements in the array are different
a = 5
*-- Here all elements in the array are 5
