The subclasses of that class only inherit it, they don't have their own copies of that information. So when you delete the property/method from the class the subclasses just lose it. And you might not notice it because VFP would just create a private memvar for the missing property if the subclass overrode the value. It would error out though the first time you tried to access/set this.TheDeletedProperty.

David,

Where can I find details for tidbits such as this one. I am trying to write an FPD to VFP converter and would like to know where is the best palce to define variables to have scope throughout the form, and where is the best place to place the functions/procedures (without using read-compatibility).

TIA,

Alex
