>>PMFJI. Do you get the message to locate the libraries on a _different_ form each time? If you open a form, locate the classlibrary, and then save it. Explicitly save it with File | Save As, do you get the prompt again if you close VFP, reopen it and try to open that same form? I'd try to get one form or report stabilized before tackling the whole project and build.

I'm not sure I'm clear on your answer. Are you saying that it asks you to relocate the libary on a different form each time or the same form? If it's a different form then that would make sense. You'd need to edit each form, locate the library, save it, and then do the next.

Okay. I never say "yes." I know some folks here do, but if you have references to files in directories other than subdirectories to the project, allowing VFP to reset the home directory screws those references up. Instead, modify the project, and answer NO to changing the home directory. Then choose Project | Project Info and answer NO again to changing the home directory. Do it yourself (on the first tab). Should be fine after that.

I suspect this might be the problem give what you say in the following.

I have looked and found none but in the world of wizards Im always worried about things being generated I dont know about. Bring back DOS and procedure coding I say! Not really...

Were these wizard generated in 6.0 or in 7.0? I would expect they're still using the 6.0 classlibs.

p.s. Could you use a mark to set off the quotes you're replying to, please? It would make it easier to follow. I think the autoreply uses a ">". I don't know if there's some UT setting that changes that.
