A class (and therefore it's methods) can be subclassed. A PRG cannot be subclassed. I don't use a single PRG as a container for multiple functions. I use a single PRG as a container of a single function. Those functions are similar to VFPs own internal functions. I also use a VCX as a container of one class. I also add very few methods to a single class. I can therefore open several things at once and multiple programmers can access many things at once too.
