I am new to the VFP environment and I am learning by trial and error. I do recall hearing that creating custom base classes was key in decreasing your development time with VFP. Therefore, I am trying to create my own custom classes. However, when I create a class based on an existing class which already has code contained within it, this code is not carried over to the new class. Is there a way to get around this (other than cut and paste)? I know the code will need to be modified, but it would still take less time I believe to make these changes than to start from scratch. Thank you in advance.
