Guy,

Don't do this! This is asking for trouble!

A DDO does not have a SERVER property (it has a semi-property called DDO_SERVER). This means that the SERVER property of the parent object is changed (typically the view).
A DDO does not have a VERIFY_EXIT_MSG property and thus your are changing the property of a parent object (again typically the view)

To explain; Container objects play an important role in the DataFlex Application Framework. Via container objects you can share settings like the server property, the definition of a save or delete request operation, a confirmation setting reference. Without this you would need to tell each and every control how to respond on save, delete, exit, confirmation etc requests.
