Hi!

Add new column to base class and rename it to some name other than just default ColumnXXX. Save and close. Then open the VCX file with child grid classes as a DBF file for browsing (VCX is a pure DBF file). Find memo with properties definition for your grids. Increase the value for ColumnCount property in each child.

The problem is because ColumnCount. You added a column in base class, so there is 6 columns now. In class B ColumnCount is also 6 and this cause... no additional column adding/defining when you open that class for editing. You have to fix CoulumnCount manually using way I described (outside of VFP class editor).

Hope this helps.

What we would like to do is add a column to class A and have the other two classes inherit the new column since it will be a column that would be used for all of our grids.
