Is there an easy way to fix this? I know that I could drag the correct class onto the form, cut and paste all the properties and method code into the new object and then delete the old one, but I didn't want to have to go thru all this trouble if it's not necessary.

FIRST of all any .vcx file is a specially formatted table file and the memo fields hold the code of the methods and the names of the properties.
before doing any surgery on a .vcx file make sure you save a back up of the .vcx file and the corresponding .vct memo file.

What you could do is append the records in the .vcx to the object that you want but you will have to go into the .vcx via USE and muck around with the fields

class , classloc , baseclass , parent , properties , protected , methods

if the object you want these (properties and methods) pasted onto is in the same .vcx class library then you should experiment with changing around these fields to get the desired effect ..
but again make sure you have a saved copy ...

i have managed to do this on two occasions when i made errors like the one you mentioned ... i had no idea whether or not my tinkering would work ...
but it did .... and it saved me some time ....

if it does not work ... or you make a bad assumption ... go back to the saved .VCX and .VCT files .
sorry but this aint exactly a quick and easy solution

Good Luck , Dave.
