James,

You should avoid binding events as an object (or it's delegate object) is in the process of instantiation.

I have also found out that VFP9 breaks a key function of BINDEVENT. It will always return the return value of the event source and never that of the delegate no matter how the flags are set.

>      lcEvent='GotFocus'
>      BINDEVENT(THIS,lcEvent,THIS.PARENT.PARENT,'TextBox'+lcEvent)
>      lcEvent='When'
>      BINDEVENT(THIS,lcEvent,THIS.PARENT.PARENT,'TextBox'+lcEvent)
>      lcEvent='Valid'
>      BINDEVENT(THIS,lcEvent,THIS.PARENT.PARENT,'TextBox'+lcEvent)
>      lcEvent='LostFocus'
>      BINDEVENT(THIS,lcEvent,THIS.PARENT.PARENT,'TextBox'+lcEvent)
>      lcEvent='InteractiveChange'
>      BINDEVENT(THIS,lcEvent,THIS.PARENT.PARENT,'TextBox'+lcEvent)
>      lcEvent='KeyPress'
>      BINDEVENT(THIS,lcEvent,THIS.PARENT.PARENT,'TextBox'+lcEvent)
