I believe the problem lies with the fact that at least two of the properties are not even valid.

Try ? vartype(xx.controls) and varType(xx.objects). You get an error message. At least one should get a 'U' for undefined.

Sounds like there is a flaw in the 'custom' class. The properties: controls, objects and a few other visual/form related properties should not even be part of this class. This should ave been the base object class that all other classes inherit from. I hope this gets fixed or the very least initailize the Objects and Controls properties to something valid.
