Bill,

If you must use NewObject/CreateObject you'll add an oParent property to provide a backlink. These kinds of object reference chains vastly complicate you life because you must null out the references at destruct time.

I really think you'll be better off using the cCollection route I pointed you to this morning. Then you can just use this.parent to get to the collection from the collected object.

>Agreed. I understand that it is not actually contained in the first object but I need to run a method on the object residing one level up the hierarchy chain can this be done?
