>As a $50 follow on, do you have any thoughts on maintenance of custom collections? Examples?

Terry,

VFP has no mechanism to create or maintain a customized collection. However, in lieu of that, there's nothing to creating a psuedo-collection by creating an array and using it to hold object references of the same type of object. Further, since the FOR EACH...construct works with arrays as well as collections, the syntax involved with iterating through the objects would be exactly the same. Was this what you were after?
