Hi David,

>I created a custom class based on the form class and put code in the init procedure and some user-defined methods. When I create a form based on the custom class and put additional code in the init procedure the original code from the class does not run. What am I missing here? Thanks.

You have to explicitely call the code in the parent class. By defaults, VFP overrides this code. SInce VFP 5 you can use DODEFAULT():

* Init
DODEFAULT()
*... the rest of the new code
