Will this do the trick:

*--- oclass is instantiated
? type('oclass')
displays 'O'

*--- oclass is not instantiated
? type('oclass')
displays 'U'


>Hello All,
>I have a custom property in my base data entry form class, which is used as an object reference to my custom DE class. As many forms use the same DE, I would like to utilise an existing instance for all open forms, I thought I could use Ainstance() but this only works with variables created by CreateOject() not form properties. This is what I tried in the Load event of the form class
