>Steven Black mentioned a method he uses for trouble things like that. Put the original authors code at the top of a PRG, and your changed methods at the bottom. VFP compiles the PRG and only leaves the last method/procedure in the compile. When updates don't perform as you need, copy your changes back to the bottom. I've been using the idea for a while.
Last man wins, eh? Is this 'feature' documented? Can you trust it? Me, I usually just save off copies (yes, naming can be a problem) and use Beyond Compare. Except in this case...
