IMHO it is difficult to deal with Memory variables bound to Controls, better to bind table Fields or maybe Object-bound properties...check out SCATTER/GATHER TO NAME:

Below is from VFP Help files...

USE customer
SCATTER NAME customer

? customer.company  && Returns the table value
? M.customer.company  && Returns the object property value
