Bhavbhuti,
>Thanks for responding, that is what I had to do (after the fact that is <g>). No other way I guess, something like "copy PEMs from another class" util.
This basically goes against O-O theory. Rather than having two different classes that define the same properties/methods, You should promote the common items up to a parent class that the two classes are derived from. You your case it sounds like you may need to create a new class and insert it into your inheritance tree and then redefine your two classes from this new class.
