Hi Dave,
Look at the Sessio nobject in the VFP help. You will see a number of properties (e.g. BaseClass, Class, etc.). However, if you make that same class an OLEPUBLIC class and create a COM server out of it, those properties do not show up in the type library. They are automatically hidden from the type library.

When you create a class based on something other than a Session object, you manually have to configure each property/method you want hidden by naking it Protected/Hidden. This was one of the enhancements for VFP 7.
