Hey Kevin, I installed those files and it cleared up the file in use error, but now I get a couple more.

1) The first time I run the builder on myabstractfactory, I get "Error instantiating class. cannot find mmbldr_getclassname in mmbuildr.vcx" I can ignore this and go on. (If I try to locate it, that method is not in my mmbuildr.vcx)

2) If I use setx and create myabstractfactory, everything seems to work OK. But, if I put the This.add('oMyFactory','myabstractfactory') in myapp.addchildren() and then try This.omyfactory.getclassname('keymgr') in the myapp.beforereadevents(), it returns blank. Funny thing is that if I put the keymgr key in the classes dbf instead of the lookup dbf it works. So, myabstarctfactory is still looking at classes from within my goapp.beforereadevents().

Thanks for everyones help.
