In VFP6, a DataEnvironment doesn't get inherited. The DataEnvironment gets lost in the derived class.

If you need to open tables, set relations, filters, or activate an index, place commands in the Form.Load() event.

Relevant commands: USE; SET ORDER; SET FILTER; SET RELATION; SELECT

>In a program I have a DEFINE CLASS MyForm AS ENTRYFORM. I use a CREATEOBJECT command to create a new instance of the class. Everything appears to work fine except when I close my form I receive an error 'Property DataEnvironment not found'. It's running the BASEFORM code but why would that code be causing an error? Is it because FoxPro thinks that the ENTRYFORM class is the parent class when it should be thinking that the BASEFORM is the parent class? Is there a way I can sub-class the ENTRYFORM class and have FoxPro use BASEFORM as my parent class instead on ENTRYFORM? Please advise.
