Hi Erik,

I kindof like them in debugging, when I say outloud: "Who the *&^% changed this property!". I could step through it, but I could just pop on an Assign and start investigating.

>The _ONLY_ thing that Access and Assign give us that we did not have before is the ability to run code when the value of a stock VFP property (not a custom property) changes. As a matter of fact, IMHO, use of Access and Assign methods can be considered bad design in all but a few cases. Here's why.

I know this is propbably not a Kosher way of doing things, but I only use that for development.
