>>Hi Eric,
>> You mention being unable to save the DE with a form class. Unfortuantely VFP does not allow a form class to be saved with a DE, only form instances(scx's). Not sure why your AddObject("DataEnvironment"... failed at runtime.

>>>I guess I don't understand this error. If I create a form visually with a DE and control sources set(like the wizard), why does it complain it is an unknown member when this form is saved as a class, then created using CREATEOBJECT()? Is this not essentially the same object whether run as .scx or an object created in runtime code? Do I need to oPlayForm.addobject("dataenvironment", "dataenvironment")? I attempted this and got a message saying the object type is invalid for the container. Does this mean the form that was saved as a class does not qualify to contain a DE?
