Mike, Well you can use CreateObject() without worrying about where the source code is held and I usually prefer CreateObject to NewObject() exactly for that reason. In fact I normally daisychain my class files with each one calling the next one as in a chain of responsibility pattern.
I guess that there is no right or wrong way of doing it but I find that I can easily keep all the classes isolated using this method without worrying about the path where the actual source code is located. As I said to Jan there are, as we are well aware, many ways to skin a cat or in this case "fox".

I never thought of that. I guess it's no different than the method I use (oUtils = NEWOBJECT("UtilityClass",".\progs\_utils.prg"). Any advantage to your way?
