>Thanks for that insight. It sure curtails my desire to get where I want to from that angle. What might you suggest for duplicating classes in class libraries? I have a class that is really a form that I want to use parts of in multiple other classes. This is not like a class/sub-class situation, more of turning a complicated form into several simplified forms.

The way to do this is to have all contains be separate classes, then add instances to a form. For example, you have to create a Page class and add controls, then add that page class to a pageframe class, then add that pageframe class to a form. Then when you output the source to a PRG, it will map properly to DEFINE CLASS since there won't be any attempt to add objects to other objects in the class definition.
