When you return to VFP5 and want to work with a classlib thats been modified in VFP6, try the command:

COMPILE CLASSLIB {classlib name}

Do this before actively using the classlib anywhere. This should recompile the source within the vcx back to VFP5...the problem is that the object code was compile in the vcs to VFP6 standards.....




>My understanding at Devcon was that VFP6 would be backwardly compatible to VFP5. But I have recently worked on a couple of classes in a project with VFP6 and when I go to modify those classes in VFP5 I get an error message that the VCX is not an object file. VFP5 will not open these classes at all. When I try to open another class in the same VCX that has not been modified in VFP6, I have no problem. Is this going to be corrected before the release of the production version of VFP6 or is this the expected behavior?

Currently, my Class Browser in VFP5 is non-functional so I have been using VFP6, but if this is going to make my projects unreadable in VFP5, then I am going to have to work in a crippled VFP5 environment. Does anyone know of a way to fix these classes without deleting them and re-creating them from scratch?
