Hi Jim,

I hope you can help with this blank wall I am facing. I believe it's in some way related to this thread(?)

You see, I have created a form class that accepts a user business object as parameter and then is supposed to display its assigned rights. The form class just contains a grid which displays the privileges available and has a checkbox column to grant (or not grant) selected line to user. My code goes something like this.

oUser = NEWOBJECT( "BIZOBJCLASS", "MYCLASSLIB", "", ... )
oRights = NEWOBJECT( "FRMRIGHTSCLASS", "MYCLASSLIB","", oUser )

The above code will generate an "Error Instantiating Object" error message on the 2nd line.

However, if I used DO FORM on the 2nd line like so:

oUser = NEWOBJECT( "USER", "MYCLASSLIB", "", ... )
DO FORM frmRights WITH oUser

It works. Why so?

Thanks in advance,

Dennis
