Hi David,

a) VFP is a mix style language. When VFP it will become a pure OOP I will not have escape.

b) Old style no oop commands are faster

CLEAR
t1=SECONDS()
FOR j=1 TO 1000
  DEFINE WINDOW Form1 FROM 0,0 TO 10,10 NAME x
NEXT
? SECONDS()-T1

t1=SECONDS()
FOR j=1 TO 1000
  x=CREATEOBJECT("Form")
NEXT
? SECONDS()-T1
