So when we made the setup and after it was installed, the application performed without a glitch. The idea was to deploy the application without its class since the forms already inherited its code. When someone else opens the installed project it will report that class cannot be found.Do you think this would be safe in the long run?

Jun,
This wouldn't work. The form inherits the class behavior but the class has to be present in order for the code to work. What will happen is the class will get drawn into the project or (if you exclude it) the class will have to exist in the path when the end user attempts to run the form.

The class code is not compiled into the form. A pointer to the class is included in the form and VFP looks for it at run-time. If it's in the EXE, great; if not, then it will throw an error.

HTH.
