>Do you pass the object as a parameter, perchance? If you pass it as a parameter, the receiving procedure has access to the object. The receiving procedure can refer to the object by the same name as the calling one, or by a different name, depending on how you defined your parameters.

I believe I passed an object property as a parameter. That must have made the whole object accessible. So do I need to create a variable like so:

Instead of:

lresult = THIS.CheckUser(oObject.UserCode)

do this:

lcUserCode = oObject.UserCode
lresult = THIS.CheckUser(lcUserCode)

And that will allow me to create and destroy an oObject object within CheckUser?
