More of a nuisance than anything, but I'd like to know how VFP (3.0) is thinking. I've got a form with fairly repetitive objects, so I use the copy and paste features to copy similar objects to new ones. However, often I get the message:

"A member object with this name already exists"

and it won't let me paste a copy of the object on the form. Usually if I do a screen redraw (switch between pages in my pageframe) a copy of the object shows up in the upper left corner and I can move and edit it as necessary. Other times though, I can't see where it made a copy of the object and have to recreate the object via the Form Object toolbar.

Any insight into what's going on?

Thanks!

Mandy
