Your implication was that your form wasn't working after a C5 error and I assumed that the inheritance chain had been broken. In fact it was broken, but by you not issuing DoDefault() <s>. That problem would have existed before the C5 error you encountered.

I'm real new at Codemine. I'm trying to bring recreate the beginnings of a project that was started in VFP6 noframework (just the VFP default). So I'm finding I "can't do this that way anymore" by fire. Thanks.
