Search your code for a similarly named base class. This sounds like one of the weird behaviors Christof explained in one of his SWFox presentations. VFP might be linking the base to a different base then you might want it to via a cache.
I've also seen it with setting a property on a form at instantiation, the next time it is set, it doesn't get a new value. HTH, Tracy -----Original Message----- From: Dave Crozier Sent: Wednesday, March 19, 2008 4:12 AM Guys, I have a really, really weird behavioural problem here with VFP and I'm pulling my hair out - what little I have. Simple scenario: 1. A form subclassed from a base form. 2. The base form contains code in the Load() event 3. The production form calls the default code in the base class Load() using Default() 4. In the Baseclass I instantiate a few business Objects and drill down about 3 or 4 stack levels to create various objects etc. 90% of time this works fins, but about 10% of the time the Dodefault() in the production form simply refuses to run the baseclass Load() code. Note that this is only in design mode and when you trace through the program and step into the DoDefault() nothing happens and execution is immediately passed to the line following the DoDefault(). Once this happens once you can cancel the form and re-run it as many times as you like with EXACTLY the same effect - a skip over DoDefault(). I have tried all of the individual "close" statements e.g. "close procedures" etc and nothing resets the problem apart from a "close all", reopening of the project and running the form again. The only thing that I have done differently to my normal procedures is to make more use of "try...endtry" and I am wondering if there is a "dangling reference" somewhere which is firing me back from the baseclass code immediately so I never even get into the subclassed coding, but how to find it easily I can't work out - if it is in fact that problem. Ideally I would like a "clear try" command or the equivalent! I am not convinced that the "try...endtry" is the cause of the problem but thought I would ask around to see if anyone else has had similar experiences.
