Sebastiaan,

That would be the same when you would declare a variable no? You have to assign a value to a variable, and thus to a property in order for it to be of a type. This _is_ foxpro.

:)

>>>Probably a newbie question here, but I created an object (for instance client) and added the property name to it. Now I can use the object anyway I want, but as soon as I want to use the contents of that property to do some text-editing (like doing a LEFT() or a LEN() function) I get an error message. I assume this is due to a difference in character data-types and object-property types.
