>Now, I don't know about you, but I find that not being able to pass object properties by reference directly in VFP is ridiculous! This is the first time I've encountered such a thing. Why haven't the programmers at MS thought of this issue. Is this done on purpose or is it a not-so-common thing that nobody uses? Even so, I think it would be very useful to allow parameters being passed by reference in every possible way.

You can't pass any object property by reference; you have to pass the object reference instead. This makes some sense, since you have to update the object if a change is made to a property passed by reference. It may be annoying, but it is consistant.

>>>I have a form with an array as a property. What I want to do is pass this array to a function that will fill it. Sometimes, the array will be changed either by adding a new row or even new columns. So, what I need to do is pass this form property (my array) by reference to the function. Here's what I tried:
>>>
>>>nPos = afill(@THISFORM.aClients)

>>You can't. Make a copy of the array using ACOPY(), pass that, then update the original. Alternately, you could pass the entire object.
