Hector,

Thanks for the response. However, I guess I didn't make myself understandable. I am working with a class object and the Name Property within the visual class editor. In there, the Name Property is greyed and italicized (and not changeable). This is where the problem is coming into play. I've never seen this before and am wondering how to fix it.

>To rename the class, right click on the class (from within the Project Manager) and select rename. I don't think you can change a class name from within the properties window.

>>I have inherited an application that is exhibiting some very strange behavior in the class libraries. I go all the way up the class tree and I cannot change the Name property on any of the classes. It is greyed out all the way to the top. I have verified that the top is a base class as well. Any ideas on what a) could be causing this, and b) is the resolution for this?
