>Erik, thanks for your reply MyClass is definately a class. A container class to be exact.

I.e. since it doesn't have a .show method (see Gerry's reply), you show it by setting
MyObject.visible=.t.
but it will do you noo good, because MyObject as a variable (reference to your object) is a private or local to the method where you run htis code, so it will go out of scope and get destroyed. You should rather do ThisForm.AddObject({name_here}, {class_here}) to make it addressable as ThisForm.MyObject - it will be there until the form is there, or until you ThisForm.RemoveObject({same_name_here}).
