>Is there any function in VFP5 that will enable me to determine if a READ EVENTS has been issued or not.

I know this doesn't help, but I just thought of a use for AStackInfo() in VFP7, you should be able to look through the last line exectued at each level of the call stack and see a READ EVENTS if source is available. You should also be able to parse out the Object refernce to a class or form instance this way. Don't know how reliable it is...
