To add to Don's reply, you can also use the Class Browser to Redefine your forms to a new form class where you've put the two custom methods.

>SetCaptions) that are used to save and set the captions of a container and its sub-objetcs.

>I cannot profit from inheritance since my application forms were based on the standard form class and not on a user-defined class (unless there is a way to change the baseclass of a form?)
