Hi Jeff.

>The answer though is not understood. Where do I put the function newobject, what file lparameter statement am I looking for?

Open NEWOBJECT.PRG, copy the code, create a new PRG with a shorter name (eg. NEWOBJ.PRG), type FUNCTION NEWOBJECT, then paste the copied code below this line. Then, SET PROCEDURE TO NEWOBJ ADDITIVE.

Note: this isn't an issue if you use VFP 6.
