Walter,

I'm not sure you see the point:

create cursor temp ( iID i, cFirstName c(40))
insert into temp values ( 0, "Walter" )
scatter name oRow

? type( "oRow.Name" ) && U
? type( "oRow.cFirstName" ) && C
? type( "oRow" ) && O

oRwo is indeed an object, it has no .Name property to test

FWIW my IsObject() udf is:

lparameter roObject

return( ( type( "m.roObject" ) == 'O' ) and ( ! isnull( m.roObject ) ) )
