What the property ClassLibrary gives you is ...
The Class Library of "ParentClass".

The Class TasTrade is a sub-class of application(inside tsgen.vcx)
Thus ClassLibrary reveals its location as tsgen.vcx

ClassLibrary gives the class library of the class itself if it has no user defined parent and is based on the prepackaged baseclasses that come with vfp

if ParentClass <> Baseclass then
ClassLibrary = the location of the class library of ParentClass
endif

if ParentClass = BaseClass then
ClassLibrary = the location of the class library itself
endif


The wording in the information and help files is confusing and loose usage of object oriented programming terms makes the confusion even worse.
I for one do not know the "official" academic definition of these terms.
