This would lead me to think at some time Class Browser was used to view the source code, then some of it was copy/pasted into the snippet window within the VCX class.

It's usually easier to restore a good copy from a backup at that point.

Hi Naoto,

Thanks for your insight however I can assure you in this case the .err file was constructed before I opened or browsed the .vcx file.
And yes you are correct it was easier to restore a good copy from my backup. Whished VFP would have had an automatic backup for .vcx files as there is for .prg files.
