Hi Michelle,

It looks like VFP treats everything after DEFINE CLASS as class definition.
Try to rearange code as follow:

PUBLIC goSettings

goSettings = CREATEOBJECT('settings')

RETURN


DEFINE CLASS settings AS CUSTOM
CurClient = ""
CurProject = ""
CurUser = ""
ENDDEFINE



>I'm trying to make a class to hold variables that I need to be public. I'm a bit confused, though, on how to do it. Here's my main program:

>DEFINE CLASS settings AS CUSTOM

>
>ENDPROC
