I've been muddling around with this command. Stupid me for trying to blend the old with the new.
The full syntax for this command is:
...
@ nRow, nColumn CLASS ClassName NAME ObjectName
...
However, whatever name I actually specify for ObjectName seems to be 100% inaccessible. The object is painted on the form, but any references to ObjectName result in a one of those no-such-object error messages, regardless of whether I say frmMyForm.Objectname.SomeProperty or simply Objectname.SomeProperty. So far, I've only tried it from the command window after instantiating a scratch form for experimenting. (I've learned it's dangerous to assume that something in Foxpro works as documented. I never code it until I've tried it).

Has anybody else had any success (or failure) with this command?

Thanks very much.
