Dan ...
I'm new to this Thread and when I typed in the question, I removed the quotes around the
oForm = createobject("yellow_card") after I went to Send the question into the Thread and
some error message popped up about quotes not being allowed.

In reality I did use the correct: oForm = createobject("yellow_card")
just as you advised and the instantiating error still occurred.

Thanks ...

>>In research here on the UT there was a message from Gary Winkler dated 8/19/97 in which Gary said he usually found the problem was in - an incorrectly spelled field name in a controlsource. So I tried creating a new Form using the Form Designer with just ONE field on it. I set the DE to a table and dragged one field from the DE to the Form to create the field. Then I saved the Form normally then did a File / Save as Class – just like I did above, into the apclases.vcx. The new class was listed in the Project Manager / Classes and also showed up in the Class Browser just like the above class did.
>>But when I go to do CREATEOBJECT on it, exactly the same Error instantiating the object occurs. So it may not be a controlsource problem. I’m operating on a Pentium II with 32 megs of memory so resources should be ample too.
