I think I understood what you want to do and I think it can be done like that (I've done once some tests, but I don't remember exactly): build an APP/EXE with the classes you want to hide, remove those classes from project and set classlib to your APP/EXE every time before you open the project. (Maybe it was a prg instead of APP and set procedure instead of set classlib, I'm not sure... :)) FoxPro will not complain about the missing classes. Anyway, I don't like this solution and I don't recomend it... :))

>i know. paul reminded me that i can 'exclude' them from the app, but i was hoping to avoid even seeing them in the project builder. can't do that...
