Fred,
OK, you caught me napping... NOW I know what it was I was thinking of -- I was thinking of the Superclass functionality, not code references. DUH!!!!
In VFP9 you can VIEW parent class code but not CHANGE it. In VFP6 (and I guess in all of the later versions, too) you can use Ken Levy's SuperCls -utility to go up and down the inheritance chain at will and edit any parent/grandparent etc. in place. I can't imagine why they didn't build that functionality directly into VFP7/8/9...
