Nancy,

I basically used the project manager, Classes,New,picked the StdGridForm class from _basics.vcx, called it a form name that was appropriate for what it was supposed to do, and typed 'sosforms' (the name of the client) as the destination library.

So now it's in sosforms.vcx as, it's called, let's say Reservations, but it still claims it's part of _basics.vcx.

Is this the expected behaviour?

Anyway, appart from the clear all, it all works - it's just irritating, 's all, and not all of my classes behave that way.
