Ruslan,

correctŠ

duh, right ;?)

Ok so

   case kv_typeobjectPtr

     iobjptr=vobjectptr(thefield)
     targ=iobjptr.target
     newtarg=olddb.baseobject(targ.name)
     i=iobjptr.deletionControl
     fieldname=iobjptr.name
     // everthing above looks correct when debugging
     vf=bo.createfield(fieldname,kv_typeobjectPtr,newtarg,i)
'breakpoint here
     'kobjPtr=bo.createObjectPtrField(fieldname,newtarg,i)

doesn't create a valid objectptr. It creates the pointer but there's 
never any target when looking in Vapp (therefore red baseobject). 
When stopping at the breakpoint 'vf'  displays  the correct target 
and pointedobject.

Am I just being really dumb orshould the above work now
BTW I'm using V4RB 1.9.8

all the best
