Wellll, I guess from a certain perspective, I don't use classlibs nor procedure files myself. All UDFs I make are separate entities, uniquely named and reusable. Even procedures are standalone, calling out to UDFs (each in their own file) as if they were extensions of VFP itself. I use a vcx (when I do) because I have no choice. I use a PRG as a design time container for a single class, and wish I didn't have to set procedure to to use them, just as I don't have to set procedure to to use a UDF in a PRG.
