>>>Are your lables base class labels or comming form your subclasses? I just made a form, put four labels from teh base class Label in it and four labels from my label class in it. In the INit I put THISFORM.SetAll("ForeColor",RGB(255,0,0),"Label") anmd teh base class label'ss color changed but the labels from my class did not. This si what I expected as the class I affected was the Label class and not lblBase class.

Like I told the other guy, I am reading a 3rd party foxpro book and it says to create my own default classes and not rely on VFP's.
You're saying I need to create my own class label with a specific color and pull that into my forms?
