VFP7 C5 error accessing class instance

Hello,

I have a weird situation. I have a class based on a
container, with about 20 methods and a dozen properties.
Pretty simple stuff in there. I can get access the class
method code by itself no problem.

The problem comes when I drop an instance of the class
onto a form. When I try to access the methods by double
clicking the object on the form, I get kicked out with a
C5 error.

I've tried changing the instance object name, the class
name, the form I'm dropping it onto, creating a new object
and cut/pasting all the methods into it, all to no avail.

Does anyone have any clue as to what might be going on and
how I can fix it?

TIA,
Cathy

Found the source of the error, although I do not
understand it.

My INIT() method accepts a number of parameters, and in
order to make it more readable I separated the line into
multiple lines.

Apparently Fox doesn't like that? As long as the
parameters are all on one line, I can get into the
subclass.

What a stupid error!

I just tried to repro this behavior, but I don't get any error. Do you get
the same error if you create a new class? If not, then I think the original
problem was with the VCX/VCT files. (VFP7 SP1)

Hi Cathy:

If the problem is related to file corruption as Eric mentions, then you can
also try issuing a COMILE CLASS <filename.vcx> command from the Command
window. Sometimes simply recompiling the class can fix the error and it is
often easier than recreating the class from scratch.

I hope this helps.
