I have had this happen to me a few times. At first it was a bit of a shocker but I more or less understand now what is happening. If there is an outstanding reference to a class and you open up the designer (class or form, etc) then the data from the memo fields isn't loaded and it looks like all your method code is missing. Normally, you can't load a class if it is in use but you might be able to if there is are no references (that is you do something like this:)
ox = CreateObject('myclass')
ox = NULL

Your object is still hanging around in memory but you can't get at it to release it.

What I have found is a CLEAR ALL and RELEASE ALL will bring back the data. Whatever you do, don't save any code in a method that seems empty. It will remove any of the real code.

This behaviour should be reproduceable because when it happens to me, I usually know why (app or form did not close properly or I did a Cancel, etc.)
