Hi Rick,

what we do is add a method to our oApp object that runs in our apps. This method never gets called. In the project-specific subclass of that method (which Frank Camp named "AddToProjectSucker") we have calls like

do form xyz
external class <classlib>
external file xyz.js
do xyz.prg

etc.

Anything that doesn't have an explicit call gets added (but not the secondary calls).

If the PJX gets hosed, this allows the project to rebuild successfully.

In your case, you could AddToProjectSucker or equivalent to the class you are distributing. You can put an IF .F. around it, of course, in case the consumers get the urge to call the method.

hth,

Hank

The idea is that if somebody wants to use a class the associated resources get loaded into the project automatically just by including the class.
