Hi Costas,

Remember that you're not calling 'myprop_assign' event but trigger it by assigning a value to a myprop array element. The "weird" part is that VFP allows to use character expression as an array subscript value. The line

xx.myProp('abc')='xyz'

should geneate error because 'abc' isn't valid for the array subscript.
Also, the assign event for an array can have up to three parameters and the third one ( the column number) allows only numbers to be passed.

My guess would be, that VFP allows code like xx.myProp('abc')='xyz' that we could access the elements of array in the collections like manner or maybe even emulate collections with arrays.

I don't see this when I run your code on my PC.
