Hi Doug.

>> IMO, this is just dumb -- it should check to see if the specified class library is already open and use it if so. <<

Yep. I agree.

>> You can prove that this is the behavior by doing this:

SET CLASSLIB TO (some VCX not in path or curdir)
X = NEWOBJECT('someclass', 'VCX opened in previous line')

You'll get a "file whatever.vcx does not exist" error. <<

Well thanks a lot for helping me to learn something new today < s >.

See ya soon.
