I guess where they are intrigued is that it works at all and why does it work? So, for example, why does my setting step on cause amembers to return any part of the array.

Hi Erik,

Nope, it installs with VFP 6.0 on Win98 (MS KB Article Q196710)

>Nancy, George- you know you can also open the hosting dll in the VFP6 class browser-

Sure, but it can be difficult to decipher some of the meanings.
