But I think You should be

1. It saves a lot of writing
2. The lines get shorter esp. when deeply referencing
into object-hierarchies
(Thisform.pageframe1.page2.cnt1.buttonx.Caption =
iif(Thisform.pageframe1.page2.cnt1.List(Thisform.pageframe.P....)))
3. thus is much more easy to debug.
4. You are much more flexible when deciding to move either
objects or methods (eg. from page1 to page2)
5. I've heard that processing can be faster
6. Despite the f... case I just ran into I've never had any
drawbacks.
