>When I used that thermometer class I had to be sure the oTherm varible was PUBLIC.

I don't know what that class is still doing around here - it's ancient (it was written for VFP 3.0) and last I checked it didn't work right in VFP 5.0 and shouldn't work the same way in 6.0. The display is all screwed as far as i can remember.

I've asked for this file to be pulled a few times, but apparently that never happened.
