>UPDATE: My original code DOES work with EVALUATE(). I thought I had tested this, obviously not. The VFP5 docs don't say anything about EVALUATE() being able to return an object reference, but evidently it can, as shown nicely by Cetin's code.

I believe when you tested you just missed it with one letter or dot:) FYI in the same manner this works too :

store Something to ("This.Check" + LTRIM(STR(m.lnIx)) + '.Someproperty')
