Yes George, but if you have a look at Christof's answer this applies more to the mindboggle I had.
And yes you're right. Why should I use this, it is bad programming anyway. But keep in mind it is still a bit the 2.6 world that I'm moving to VFP.
But anyhow thanks for your help.
I already had Christof's idea implemented before. (store object props to locals and pass them to the method and store them back to the object props).
But I just was wondering if there was an alternative to it.
