>I have inherited support of a VFP 5 application that uses a 3rd party library from a company that is no longer in business. I would like to upgrade the application to VFP 9 but several of the classes from the library appear to be incompatible. For example, one class is a label with 4 custom properties and one custom method. Attempts to modify any form that uses the label yields a syntax error. I can view the label using the Class Browser but can't open it visually. The method code doesn't look particularly unusual. What's the problem and how do I fix it?

Linda,

Is any of the PEM's name conflict with label properties in VFP9 (have the same name)? What's label caption in class? Did you try COMPILE CLASSLIB?
