Hi Reg,

It's not helpfull when you say 'does not work' because it can mean anything: blows up, generates error, does nothing, e.t.c.

VFP8 has 'View Parent Code' button/shortcut menu, so you may not need SuperCls anymore. Also DO SuperCls w/o parameters clears SuperCls from memory. You've to call it with parameters, DO SuperCls WITH ,,0

I don't see why it would in this case.
