Wow...got a tip from my boss to subclass something and use the Scope Resolution operator to call the parent class. At first, I was skeptical as I thought it was kinda kludgey, as the last time I saw :: code 15+ years ago, I was like "what the heck is that?" but after implementing it today, that is one super awesome feature. Been doing VFP since 1999 and loved that today, I've increased my knowledge in VFP land and love it even more.

Mike, It is extremely hands in certain circumstances and can save you loads of extra programming work. However like yourself I tend to forget about it (as opposed to never knowing about it!!) and only after the event do I realise I could have made life easier for myself!!
