Mark,

I can shed some light on this one. I had exactly the same problem and it drove me crazy !

IT IS A DEFINITE FOXPRO BUG ! I use VFP 5.

After looking at the history of my classes I noticed that at one point the missing method had been a "hidden" method in the original class, for experimentation purposes. It had been put back to PUBLIC but I was still experiencing this crazy situation where with some subclasses I could see the method and others I could not.

I tried deleting the method and re-pasting it in but that did not make a difference.

The only thing that worked was :
--------------------------------

1) Copying the code in the method.
2) Deleting the method.
3) Creating a method with a new name. Make sure it is a PUBLIC method.
4) Pasting the code into that new method.
5) Doing a REPLACE ALL ACROSS ALL OBJECTS of the explicit references
to the old method, by explicit references to the new method.

That corrected my problem.

Michel.
