Jon,

>Erm...thanks for the tip Mat but our problem is slightly more complicated than that. We wish to access the actual method CODE at runtime, as a developer aid to check DODEFAULTS exist where they should.

If your methods don't require the use of DODEFAULT 99.99% of the time I'd say it's likely that your class designs need some serious work. Inheritance normally extends a class' functionality and if your subclasses/instances aren't using the functionality what is it doing there in the first place. Your programmers shouldn't really have much of a choice about whether or not they have dodefault in the code they write.
