If there is an instance of a class in memory the class lib definitely cannot be edited. However, I am sure I have seen instances where even when all classes were cleared, the lib was still not available.
Regardless of whether I'm wrong or not, what I've found useful is to set on a small PRG with CLOSE ALL / CLEAR ALL / RELEASE ALL / CLEAR and then set function key to call it in my VFP startup program.
