Depending on how involved your docs might be, there are a couple of different ways to approach this. A quick and easy way of documenting your classes is to download a program from UT called "DOCVCX". It will read your class libraries and produce documentation in Word. It's pretty cool, and it's free.
Another option is to take a look at
West Wind Technologies. There HTML Help Builder is designed to help you create HTML-based documentation of your classes/code. Another cool program.
If you've got Visual Studio, try using the VFP Wizards to export your classes to Visual Modeler. It will help you create graphical documentation of your classes. It works OK, but it might take a little work to make things look nice.
