Ok this wasn't correct so let me rephrase this:

Subclassed visual classes (forms) in vfp6 give you the LParameters statement where some exist in the parent class when you go into a custom method. This works even when source code has been striped out in the parent class.

In VFP7/8 you don't get a parameters statement if the parent class has no source code.

Is there some kind of workaround for this.

I am a fun of VFP8 and have been advising our third party developers to get vfp8 if they can. We shipout our classes in the product which they then subclass and customise for their customers.

Any clues?
