That would make the most sense....use the SYS(2000) function in a loop and open every SCX and for each appropriate row (determined by the Class memo) add the DoDefault() function to the Methods memo.

Thanks. Live and learn. You probably covered that in your OOP with Visual FoxPro book, eh?

I actually don't have to do this...I just wondered....I will rememeber to issue a DoDefault() when methods are overridden.

BTW, I have never built a builder...how is that done?

Thanks again,

Joe

You'll have to go find all the offending items to fix them. You can programatically use TheForm.SCX to scan for it in the Methods memo. Or write a builder that could open each form and work on it.
