I do the same with say a print/mailing object:

Private oPrint

oPrint = CREATEOBJECT('custom')

DO setoprint

oPrint.e_tolist = 'someemail@somewhere.com'

etc..

* Call some program where oPrint will be visible and you don't have to

pass any parameters. E.g.

sendemail()

FUNCTION setoPrint

oPrint.addproperty('cOption','') && P=Print E=Email V=View D=PDF

G=Prog X=excel T=Text

oPrint.addproperty('p_printer','')

oPrint.addproperty('p_orient',0)

oPrint.addproperty('p_location','')

oPrint.addproperty('p_copies',1)

oPrint.addproperty('e_tolist','')

oPrint.addproperty('e_cclist','')

oPrint.addproperty('e_bcclist','')

oPrint.addproperty('e_subject','')

oPrint.addproperty('e_body','')

oPrint.addproperty('e_attach','')

etc....
