>Running into something weird. In an inherited application, I just changed a table to have a single memo field instead of two char fields for notes, and replaced the pair of textboxes on the relevant forms with an editbox. There are two forms involved. The first is pretty much display-only, shows a grid of all records on one page and detail of the currently selected record on a second. A button on that form instantiates a form class for editing the record.

>When I test here, all works as expected. Both forms open and show the right data. At the client site, the display form is fine, but instantiation of the editing form class fails with error 1736 and the message says "Error instantiating the object EDTNOTES." That's, of course, the newly added editbox that replaced the two character fields.

Is the editbox of class edifbox or of some framework? I had sometimes the problem that I had open classlibxyz.vcx open while building the app (not compile all), but the classlib was open at my comp due to something else - and of completely unrelated folder.

This is I have a exe I use inside VFP that uses the same framework as the stuff I'm developing.

The exe uses XYZ.vcx (with internal path of the exes origin say c:\blabla\XYZ.vcx)

Now I alter a form in my IDE with a object based on c:\otherdir\XYZ.vcx. The form is opened fine - but sometimes the object is bound to c:\blabla\XYZ.vcx. instead of c:\blabla\XYZ.vcx after save.. This could be true for parentclass property as well. This all works fine as long as XYZ.vcx is somehow in SET("CLASSLIB"). Usualy on customers comp it tends to fail ...
