If the init performs something that you don't want done, modify the class to accept .F. as a parameter and if this parameter is passed, bypass the behavior you don't want.

Hi Erik,

What I'm trying to do is provide a new empty class library of all my base classes (which are forms) that I can provide to the end-user. This way they have the use of all my forms, but cannot edit the code. This way they can modify the behavior of the forms WITHOUT having the source code. That's why I don't want the INIT event to fire off. There must be some way to do it, because that's exactly how the designers (form, class, etc.) all work.
