>It is just one record - the form record - and the location is, and always was '..\..\classes\LibName.vcx'. The users don't even see that directory, and the library is included in the project. The error is not consistent, it happens once in a blue moon, but there are days when you may get it two times in a row going out of VFP and back in.
Are there other controls in this classlib? If there are, you may have some other forms that are using these controls, and THEY may be the ones with the wrong CLASSLOC field. VFP caches the classlib references, so once it's gone on to the wrong one, it may stay that way for awhile, causing your problem. I've seen similar problems as you've seen and it's ALWAYS been this situation, duplicate classlibs in different folders, and classes referencing the wrong ones. In the development environment, it was even worse, because you'd not see the changes YOU KNOW you just made. Some forms would work correctly with the changes, and others wouldn't. Just about drove me nuts!
