That VCX exists, but it certainly won't have the class the form is looking for (it is a different project). Sometimes I have both projects open at once, but surely my VCXes aren't just randomly swapping data between them?


I wouldn't call it "random", but it more than likely has to do with a caching issue. If you do have the two projects open at once, you very well might be causing your problems. I've seen it with classes that are named the same, but stored in differenct .VCX files between the different projects.

>I do not manually mess with the VCXes, I am not using the object browser or having any other flaky problem. It is just that once in a while the Classloc changes out from under me (on just two or three classes within the VCX). When I manually go in and change it back to what it should be, my forms come up no problem.

About the only real solution I was able to come up with, was not to open the differrnt projects in the same instance of the VFP IDE. If you really need to work on two different projects, open a separate copy of VFP IDE for each one.
