Hi Marsha -
Thanks for your response. Sorry for the typo. I meant to say:
loForm = NEWOBJECT( "DateEntry", "C:\Developement\Myforms.vcx" )

Is there a reason why I would want to instantiate a form class rather than an SCX or the other way around? Is there more overhead involved using DO FORM rather than NEWOBJECT() ?
