Bob:

This is a form that I am working on, not a class. So it wont show up in the class browser.

However, I SOLVED THE PROBLEM!!

Somehow myform.name had the value 'frmmaint', which is the same name as form it was subclassing. As soon as I changed that to 'frmmaint1' it worked. I got the idea from creating a new form based on that class and noticing that foxpro gives it the name frmmaint1.

Thank you for all your reply. It raelly made me check the dependency all ways. It eventually helped me go in the right direction.
