Eric,

Thanks for your reply. I should have stated earlier that VFP, after ignoring all the errors, does instantiate my class. It's the other classes that the business object loads that cannot be found, although I think by doing SetX the framework takes care of all the SET CLASSLIB/PROCEDURE for me. At least that's my understanding. Thanks --Tom

It seems to be erroring in the cAbstractFactory.AbstractFactoryObj.SelectAlias() method. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks --Tom
