Hi,

What is the scope of the oMapUnit variable? If it isn't scoped to the form it will disappear as soon as the Click event is finished. To test this you might want to make it public or make it a form variable (PUBLIC oMapUnit or thisform.oMapunit)

(Was this for CreateObject or is there a NewObject function in VFP6, I use VFP5)
