Nope... base classes are built into VFP... they aren't in a library. But, if you want a first level subclass of all the visual base classes, you can use _base.vcx which is in the FFC and is a direct subclass of every class.

Marim Lasiky (sp) suggested that you copy base to _mybase and then redefine all of the classes in _base to subclass from _mybase. That way, when VFP ships a new _base, all you will have to do is redefine on library and not loose any code or settings you would put in there, since you would now put those settings/code in _mybase.
