>You're right DEs can't be subclassed. And that's why when you save a form as a class (even if it has a dataenvironment) when you instance it as a form you need to manually create an environment. Bummer huh?

DEs can be sub-classes - the only prob. is that VFP
doesn't let u sub-class them visually
- what i did was to build a small util. that
"extract" the code from forms (ie u design the DE
with the form designer and then u get the code for it)
then all is left to do is instantiate it in the
init event of a form sub-classs

this util is free and can be found on the yellow pages
