Nancy, AFAIK, VFP's AMEMBERS() won't pull out the information on the Shell.Application object - there are no writable properties or collections exposed directly by the object (the only properties exposed are Parent and Application, both read-only, both pointing to another Shell object.) At least I can't get AMEMBERS() to work on Shell.Application - I can run it against the shell objects returned by the two exposed properties, but they always return one entry, Application.
