The forms, like classes are just .DBF type files. There are two fields that need to be udpated. CLASS and CLASSLOC. ALWAYS make a backup first...

use myform.scx
replace class with "New_Base_Textbox";  && (or whatever you really call it)
        classloc with "myclassdir\mybaseclass.vcx"; ( your class library is )
  for baseclass = "textbox"

The classlib must be relative to the directory where the form originates.
