Just FYI for those following along,
I tried the following in my test method even though I wouldn't be able to in my
Form object scenario:
$oChildObject:=Null // $oParentObject.ChildInformation =
{FirstName:John,LastName:Smith}

Subject: RE: Object notation bug?
I am unable to do $oChildObject:=null in my actual situation because I am
passing that object into a Dialog so in my situation $oParentObject is actually
the Form object, I don't have the local variable for $oChildObject on the form.
So is there another command to clear both references without having loop over
all properties in the child and remove them individually?

Hi,
That’s not a bug. That’s normal.
$oChildObject:=New object create a reference to a object store in $oChildObject
OB SET($oParentObject;"ChildInformation";New object) push another reference
into the $oParentObject but the old reference still exist because $oChildObject
isn’t cleared.
you try : $oParentObject.ChildInformation:=Null
try this $oChildObject:=null
and read $oParentObject

Olivier
