Ken, >> However, using it makes the object that contains it incompatible with previous VFP versions (ie., forms won't open).<<
This is only if the MemberData is more than 254 characters, and only the class (not the entire class library) or form with the limit broken are unusable in VFP 8 and earlier. The problem is VFP 8 and earlier cannot handle more than 254 character property values in the Property Sheet. Naturally, it does not take long before the MemberData XML can get large. The good news is you can use Global MemberData to reduce the size of the local MemberData. The Global MemberData is stored in the FoxCode table (IntelliSense). I am interested in the performance problems. I have not seen this myself so I am curious when the performance becomes an issue. Is the performance with IntelliSense?
