Hi Larry, and thanks for your reply..
I took that code right out of the class browser.
It looks like the vfp compiler likes the hierarchical levels as long
as you make your FORMS in the FORMS designer...:)

>I don't you can nest hierarchical levels in an ADD OBJECT command. Try breaking out the form class to its own definition and add the label to it:

>PUBLIC oformset1
>
>oformset1=NEWOBJECT("formset1")
>oformset1.Show
>
>DEFINE CLASS formset1 AS formset
>DataSession = 1
>AutoRelease = .T.
>Name = "Formset1"
>
>ADD OBJECT form1 AS form1
>ENDDEFINE
>
>DEFINE CLASS form1 as form
>Top = 14
>Left = 15
>DoCreate = .T.
>Caption = "Form1"
>Name = "FORM1"
>
>ADD OBJECT label1 AS label WITH ;
>Caption = "Label1", ;
>Height = 17, ;
>Left = 120, ;
>Top = 108, ;
>Width = 40, ;
>Name = "Label1"
>ENDDEFINE
