It's more than enabling the browser - it seems to be stepping through it that makes it work. Forget the beer - vodka seems more appropriate.

As a matter of intellectual curiousity, anyone got a better answer? The current state of affairs doesn't cause me a problem, since I don't use AMEMBERS() in conjunction with an OLE Automation server at the moment to do anything interesting, but it would seem to pose a problem for someone writing builders for classes based on generic servers created outside of VFP?

>>Maybe the ClassBrowser or ComponentGallery? I'm really curious why we aren't seeing the same result.
