>when trying to open a .vcx I get this message "Class xxxx is in use by Modify Class." and will not allow me to open the class. I have restarted VFP and the PC. I also have restored it from previous backups and they all give the same message. Is there a tag causing this? How can I get around this issue.

Can you copy the class from the current VCX into another? Ex.

add class myclass of myvcx.vcx to temp.vcx

If so, then you may be able to remove it using the remove class command then add it back into the current VCX from the temporary VCX.

If there is a corruption, this may fix it.

HTH.
