Hi Gerald.

>> I would appreciate any pointers on how to :
1. Subclass the Page calss programatically <<

You create a program called MyNonVisualClasses.Prg. You start defining your custom page class like this:

DEFINE CLASS MyCustomPage AS Page

ENDDEFINE

>> 2. Insert this class then into my 2nd lvel base classes <<

This was my original point. You can't subclass the VFP page base class visually. IOW, you can't put it in a vcx. But you can still use your subclass as you define it in code by doing a SET PROC TO MyNonVisualClasses ADDITIVE.

Try checking out DEFINE CLASS the on-line help.
