My guess is that the SQLExec method is a shared (static) method. Those kinds of methods (and properties) do not require a class to be instantiated. IOW, you would just have:

        If Framework.Data.SQLExec("SELECT Numero,Password,Session FROM " + tcTable + _
         " WHERE Username=""" + lcUsername + """", toConnection) = False Then

>I have created a class that I would like to instantiate at various locations in my code. The class name is Data within Framework.dll. The instantiation of the class does not represent a problem. I can compile and have it run ok. But, I have warnings all over the place wherever I am making reference to one of its method. Here is the code:
