>How can I use the & macro sub command using a value of THIS.Property....the macro stops processing when it encounters the period after THIS.....Thanks in advance....

Peter,

Here's some code from Barbara Peisch's txtSearch class:

lGrid = THIS.grdName

THISFORM.LOCKSCREEN = .T.
IF NOT EMPTY(THIS.grdName)
THIS.PARENT.&lGrid..SETFOCUS() && Extra dot ends the & expression
