>>I don't know why having a unique name for every contained object is such a hassle for you guys. I don't know of any OO language that supports a rich containership model like VFP that doesn't require unique names. Contained objects aren't really different than a property, would you argue that properties don't need to be uniquely named?
David,
I should have added that I have your opinion in very high regard. Therefore, I invite you - should you have the time to do so - to look at the sample program provided in FAQ #8110, especially the part labelled "Option 1". Do you find a serious flaw in it? Apart from the fact, already mentioned, that it relies on undocumented features.
Hilmar.
