Sure! This is by design.

If you rename a member M of a class C with the new name for N,
in each VCX/ SCX where you have used C,
all the properties/methods on M are lost.

This is because VFP saves them as M.property
and therefore can not bind M. a N.

In VFP you must guess the names at the first shot,
or have an much more powerful editor classes.
