I have a large VFP 9 application using 9 VCX Class files. It has worked fine for some time till I added the 9th VCX. It was copied from another project but I checked and all the references are set to local VCX Classes, etc. The problem is a container object in the VCX that is added to a form at runtime to show help messages. It can be called at any time from any form though an internally developed help system. We set it to auto load because the system has over 300 forms.

The object loads with:

if vartype(oForm.cntHelpMsg) <> 'O'
       oform.NewObject("cntHelpMsg","cntHelpMsg","j5w.vcx")   <-- line causing crash.
       oForm.cntHelpMsg.Zorder(0)
endif

Sometimes users get the error: Class library file (path) \j5w.vcx not found. The only fix I can find is to place the J5W.VCX file into the (path) folder. Other places where it is used do not have a problem.

Ideas?
