>I feel retarded asking this, but I cannot for the life of me create either visually or command-wise an instance of a form from my user defined library. I can create object on forms, but if I pull a form onto another form vfp creates a form set. Any ideas???Thanks Rick

Jorge and Evan are both right. But if you are using VFP 6, there is an even easier way-

CREATE FORM MyForm AS MyFormClass FROM c:\MyClassLibrary.vcx
