Gerard,

I do not understand the part with controlsource. Do you mean oobject points to Thisform.objMemVar.Myfield? Like

oobject = Thisform.objMemVar.Myfield

or is Thisform.objMemVar.Myfield the controlsource of oobject

oobject.controlsource = "Thisform.objMemVar.Myfield"

?

Is myfield/oobject created with scatter to name? (E.g. what class is MyField/oobject)

could you please give me the error number and your VFP version?
