Hi Ed,

>Would I be better off to just subclass the _base.vcx to my base classes rather than redefine _base.vcx?

Copy. As a rule of thumb, I never use any class outside of the project directory. If I need a class, I copy it into the project directory. Well, actually, it's a bit more complicated. Aside from simply copying a class I might also use the Share feature in VSS to produce thse copies but keep them automatically in sync. Or, I might use a tool that comes with the Acodey framework and automates this process of copying making it a snap to apply an updated version.

Instead of copying classes from the FFC method by method and property by property, I'd simply copy the records from their VCX into my VCX and adjust the CLASSLOC and CLASS fields as needed.
