Dave,
In addition to the other suggestions, remember that a property value specified in a class is the *default* value for objects created by it - if the inherited property is explicitly changed from the default, it will not reflect any changes done to the class afterwards.

>I set the icon property in a form class I created. But for some reason the value in this does not get passed down to subclasses from this form class. The forms (SCXs) that are created from this form class also do not get this icon property value either? Any idea why this particular property value would not get passed down? Thanks in advance.
