Ok, then, but that still leaves open the question of whether or not UDF's are evalutated by Type() in VFP8.

Do I take it from your answer that even in VFP8 (I don't have it), Type() still refuses to return a value for UDF's?

>Exactly. The following VFP8 code confirms that.

oObj = CREATEOBJECT("Empty")

>>Strictly speaking, 'AddProperty' is an object method, not a VFP function (at least in VFP's terminology). So I think the difference is in that. Is there a true VFP built-in 'function' where Type() does not run the function to get the return type?
