Jim,

WhatIF .Name has been marked as protected or hidden? I know it's a stretch but I'm feeling ornery this morning. *s* Yours does save a few milliseconds per call though.

Although I have marked most of the PEMs of my OLEPublic server as protected to get rid of all of the public Get/Set Property and Method access points that wind up in the .tlb and thereby extremely over complicate the code in VC++ that we use to talk to the server. Especially since VFP generates a nearly useless .tlb as far as VC++ is concerned and I have to edit the generated code to fix it.
