I've since started using it in VFP8 and have found that PEMSTATUS(_screen.activeform.DataEnvironment,"Controls",5) now shows .t. (A logical true (.T.) is returned if the property, event, method, or object exists for oObjectName or cClassName).

DE have many hidden properties and methods ( all container's pems),
and PEMS(,5) return .T. for a HIDDEN pems.

On VFP9 this change and:
for hidden native properties, PEMSTATUS( ) returns a logical False (.F.).
