Claudio,

The reply by Mr. Brown suggests that the VFP documentation, at least as written under the "COM Interfaces" entry (which actually displays the "DEFINE CLASS command", needs revision, specifically in the table under the "CParamName AS Type" write-up about half way down the full entry.

Do you agree? Do you know of other places in the documentation that fail to communicate this (or, as is the case here, MIS-communicates it)?
cheers
