Hi Pamela,
Forms do have a NewObject() method. As near as I can tell it's the same as the AddObject() method, except you can name the vcx file that the class is in, so it doesn't have to be in the Set Classlib.

I also assumed that NewObject method and NewObject function were the same thing, but someone here corrected me (Sergey I think). The method creates an object with a Parent (the form or other container), but the function creates an object with no Parent. The function needs a name to give to the new object, but the function doesn't.
