Hi Eric,

AFAIK NewObject method in new in Version 6.0, so that's why we can not be aware of it. As I wrote in my prev. message, I had the similar problem before (BTW, I don't think it's a good habit to change settings in Form Init method. I even wrote this in "VFP Do and Dont's " document), which I solved by using NewObject method. Since then I highly recommended to use this new method instead of AddObject. Look at Help for more details and you'll find, that this method doesn't requier to open ClassLib or SET CLASSLIB TO, which is definitely an advantage.

>>>NewObject cannot replace the AddObject method, only the CREATEOBJECT function. Carlie's problem is probably one of path resolution, and not instanciation order, or calling syntax.
