Don't excuse yourself. This is why UT exists! :)

>i think oTest.Destroy does the job too. Am i rite?

No. Destroy is an event. The right way is the one Gérald gave. Another way to skin the same cat is:

RELEASE oTest

There's a little difference between these 2 methods:
oTest = .NULL. will detroy the object, but the oTest variable still exists and TYPE("oTest") still returns "O". RELEASE oTest destroys the object and the oTest variable. You can use one or the other, depending on your needs.
