If CREATEOBJECT() fails for any reason other than the Init returning false, I would certainly expect an error message. Something like "Insufficient Memory" - something related to the reason that it failed. To suggest otherwise implies that VFP shouldn't really report any errors at all.

I agree that if the Init returns false, then it's up to the programmer to handle that. But if CREATEOBJECT() simply doesn't create the object, how am I to determine why? And why should I have to test the variable after every single CREATEOBJECT() statement? I don't think that's a viable solution at all.


>CreateObject() won't generate an error if it fail, it will return NULL. Make sure that you test that the variable isn't NULL after each CreateObject().
