>Sorry, I should rather say that TWO objects are placed in VFP. As I said "even receiving object does not have to be placed on the form. It may be just created with CREATEOBJECT()". I see the key here is not that both objects are in the same form or not, but that both objects are "in VFP", so to say. I was talking about creating the receiving object visually.

Ok... I think I'm with you now. Thanks for beating that into me!
