If you specify the class name in NEWOBJECT (), VFP doesn't have to search in all VCX at runtime to find the class you try to instanciate. If you have more than one class name with the same name in different VCX, you aren't sure witch one VFP will find first and can hang up with a bug if VFP use the wrong class.
