Hi David,

I'm not sure what you're refering to but direct object comparison and COMPOBJ() both work in VFP6SP5. Here's the tes I run

oForm = CREATEO("Form")
oForm1 = CREATEO("Form")
oForm2 = oForm
? oForm1 = oForm		&& .F.
? oForm2 = oForm		&& .T.
? COMPOBJ(oForm1, oForm)		&& .F.
? COMPOBJ(oForm2, oForm)		&& .T.
