Hi!

You require to RETURN the value from Access method:

hidden procedure DebugDir_Access
  if empty(this.DebugDir)
    wait window 'DebugDir property has not been set'
  endif
  return this.DebugDir
endproc

HTH.

>The following is a class defintion:
>*
>define class MFCGlobal as Custom
> DebugDir = ""
> *
> hidden procedure DebugDir_Assign
> * Debug directories are always under C:\TEMP
> lparameters xNewVal
> *
> if type('xNewVal') <> 'C'
> wait window 'MFCGlobal:Invalid assignment, must be a character value'
> else
> xNewVal = alltrim(xNewVal)
> if right(xNewVal, 1) <> '\'
> xNewVal = xNewVal + '\'
> endif
> this.DebugDir = 'C:\TEMP\' + xNewVal
> if !Directory(this.DebugDir)
> md this.DebugDir
> endif
> endif
> endproc
>enddefine
