>Your question is timely because I had this very thing happen to me last weekend after I'd spent a day furiously modifying some custom method code in the class, then went back to make some other change (to be honest I can't remember exactly what - I think I may have changed a name or pointer to a parent class and that probably broke the link), then at some point, poof! My method code had disappeared. I routinely recompile my classes after making any sort of change, so recompiling didn't (as far as I know) either cause or prevent the problem. I thought I was doomed, but decided to check the .vcx file to see if the code might be lurking around. Fortunately for me it was still sitting there intact in one of the fields, even though I couldn't see it when I looked at it in the class designer. I copied that code and then pasted it back into the class methods inside the class designer and then recompiled again. I wrote a note to myself to do some tests to see exactly what changes seem to

I'm always lucky, because I have 3 days worth of backups. I just cut and paste from an earlier version. I'll try your method next, to see which is easier. You might note that I discovered that just restarting VFP5.0a let my method code show up again (as long as I haven't saved the class while the code was "invisible" in which case it was gone for good).
