Hi Denis:

Another option you can use is converting your form with FoxBin2Prg and replace all occurrencies of the class with the new one.

In this example of part of a form converted to text, you can replace the classlib of classes 'C11' and 'C21' (ClassLib="clases.vcx") with another classlib, ie: ClassLib="anotherlib.vcx":

*** Converted to text with FoxBin2Prg
DEFINE CLASS form1 AS form 
 	*< CLASSDATA: Baseclass="form" Timestamp="" Scale="" Uniqueid="" />

	*-- OBJECTDATA items order determines ZOrder / El orden de los items OBJECTDATA determina el ZOrder 
	*< OBJECTDATA: ObjPath="C11" UniqueID="" Timestamp="" />
	*< OBJECTDATA: ObjPath="C21" UniqueID="" Timestamp="" />

	Caption = "Form1"
	DoCreate = .T.
	Name = "Form1"

	ADD OBJECT 'C11' AS c1 WITH ;
		Left = 44, ;
		Name = "C11", ;
		Top = 32
		*< END OBJECT: ClassLib="clases.vcx" BaseClass="custom" />

	ADD OBJECT 'C21' AS c2 WITH ;
		Left = 44, ;
		Name = "C21", ;
		Top = 76
		*< END OBJECT: ClassLib="clases.vcx" BaseClass="custom" />

ENDDEFINE
