John,
Welcome to VFP. amembers() is one of the very powerful features we have at our disposal.
This one function lets us easily do things to objects both at runtime and at designtime. Functions like pemstatus() and the type() function allow us to query the object interface at runtime which is a tremendous ability.
>Thanks David. Works just as I need it to. I'm just getting used to VFP8's new features, and I think it's possible to include that function in the tool-set.
