For anyone who wants it I have now finished a small utility program that: 1. Creates a named set of base classes, each class being given a pre-defined prefix to its name within the class
2. Using the class library created above traverses through all the forms in a project and converts all the non subclassed items to be equivalent classes in the class library. If anyone wants the code just say and I'll post it.

Creates a set of subclasses in a .VCX 2. Scans the project in all the forms and replaces all the standard VFP classes with the subclassed classes. You can then play around with the subclasses as much as you want. If you want me to post it then I'll clean it up a little and put it onto Profox.

BUT seeing Dave's posting about putting things over into sub-classes makes a lot of sense to me... isn't that how you would want to do things anyway? Might as well kill two birds with one stone...
