I know it will not crash the program, but in the implementation I need, it has to be 'added' to the session class without instantiating a local instance of the object.

I'm using VFP7 (can't use collection), and I changed my implementation to use an array and it works without
having to use a local instance of the object.

Thank you for the feedback.
