Randy,

VFP is telling you that the object does not have a Show() method. A container class does not.

If you want an object that is created at runtime to be a visible part of a form you must use AddObject() to add the object to the container that you want it in. For example:

thisform.AddObject( "oRuntimeObject", "myclass" ) 
with thisform.oRuntimeObject
   .Top = ...
   .Left = ...
   .Visible = .t.
endwith
