Actually, it's pretty well known here, but not easily enough reproduced to report as a bug.

There are two things that I have seen cause this-

1. developing in a multi-developer project without VSS- workstation 1 attempts to modify a class that workstation2 is modifying. For some reason, occasionally, instead of "access is denied", the designer will open the class, but all methods will be empty. If workstation 2 saves the class, it will be saved with all method code erased.

2. Same symptoms, but with only one workstation- if the class definition is still in memory, occasionally, the designer will allow you to modify it in the same way- it will open, but all methods are empty.

The code is not recoverable from the vcx. The only way out of this is backup. The only prevention is making sure that there is class code already present before you modify a vcx based class.

I wish I could give you more details regarding how to reproduce this, but it happens only occasionally, and seemingly randomly.

>This is not a known problem. If the code is indeed gone in the VCX, you might be able to MODY FILE the VCT to get the method code.

The class had none of the functionality it had previously. I exited the application and opened the class to find all method code gone except the one line of code I had just added.
