You can write a simple form builder that can traverse the objects on a form and strip off the alias if you like. Or you can create a simpler builder that you have to right-click on each object and pick the Builder menu item and have that builder strip off the alias. The grids and other container classes might have to have some recursive logic to drill into the containers. But you have to do this for the form builder first mentioned. A more sophisticated solution is to assign a builder to each base class in your library using a custom Builder property. You assign the builder program name or ClassLib,class to the property. In this situation you can set the Builder Lock setting on the VFP Options dialog (Forms page) so a builder runs every time an object is created on the form. The builder does not have to have any user interface at all. All it needs to do is check the ControlSource and strip off the alias and shut down. So you would not see anything other than maybe a little hesitation after the drop happens on the form. Still, this could get annoying over time, but you can turn off the Builder Lock anytime you don't want the builder to run.
