Thanks for the response.

1. Does this make it a copy or a sub-class of cntMRB? If a sub-class I will try this using cntPartno for the "Based On."

2. I think I tried an equivalent of this from the command window

CREATE CLASS cntDMR OF common_libs AS cntPartno FROM common_libs

and wound up with the same error.

Thanks again. I'll post the results on Monday
