>Yes, I understand all of this very well now. The bottom line is I have to do a little more work. The great power of inheritance is that you change something at the top and everything trickles down magically. Unfortunately, since you cannot get inside of VFP's native baseclasses, you must first create your own set of parent classes which you then can use to distribute behavior to subsequent subclasses you design. This, in the immortal words of Maynard G. Krebs, is WORK !!!

Yes, but you only have to put the code in there one time.
