However, I suggest passing a Relation Manager object reference instead, so that you will have the ability to use Relation Manager methods as well as File Manager methods. The basic steps are outlined below. Add a property to your class properties: MyFile &RelationManager Have your Init method include another parameter: MyClass.Init PROCEDURE(RelationManager MyFile, ) CODE Self.MyFile &= MyFile After instantiating an object in your class, Initialize it with xxx.Init(Relate:Products, other parameters) Your other methods will be able to call nonprivate nonprotected methods using: Self.Myfile.Method(parameters) ! Relation Manager methods ! The Relation Manager Me property is the File Manager Self.MyFile.Me.Method(parameters) ! File Manager methods HTH Phil Carroll
