David,

I did it the old fashioned way: by looking at the class and classlocation fields in the vcx while looking for reserved3.

This way I pick up the first description made as you go up the class ancestry. Now the problem is, if no description was made in the hierarchy, I can't come up with the default VFP description. Any ideas ?

Thanks,

Alex
