I appreciate the input you guys have given. I tried exactly what you did and it worked fine. So, then I started thinking ... what did I do different?

It hit me, I had subclassed my PageFrame from another subclassed pageframe. In other words, we had created our own base pageframe from the standard VFP base PageFrame in VFP 7.0. The pageframe class I was creating for this project was subclassed from our base not from the VFP 8.0 base.

Therin lies the difference and, I guess, the problem. I know the base we created was initially created from VFP 7.0. But I'm a little confused as to how that works. If my personal base class is subclassed from the VFP base and now I'm using 8.0 as my base, shouldn't my personal base class also inherit the properties & methods of the new VFP base?
