>boy i feel stupid. did not realize there was a difference between grid on a form and grid on an object.. said my grid was on a form for simplicity. actually the grid that i want to make a class is on a container object, not a form. but i know see that i can copy the container grid to a form and then save as a class. not straighforward but will work.

Firslty, you duplicate vcx file (copy it with another name). Then you add both vcxs to the same project, rename class in one VCX and drag this class to another VCX.
