>Please give an example of a logical/virtual not physical package in VFP.

A logical package is just a collection of related things. You can have an OrderEntry package that is comprised of all the classlibs, forms, prgs, reports and menus that pertain to that subsystem of the app. You can have a package the aggregates all of the bizobjs. If your database is comprised of 200 tables you can put logical groups of tables into a package. Packages are sort of arbitrary, they can be whatever you want them to be to help someone design/understand/document/deploy/whateverelse a system.

Mike I'm not saying either huge or large is a good thing. Appropriately and convienently sized is what I call a good thing. There is no magic number for how many classes should be in a classlib.
