VPME9 - modify form_ base class

I want to modify the base class of a project. I can modify the VPM master base form_ class, but that would affect all my projects. When I try to modify proforms.form_ class, I get the error message "class form_ is in use by MODIFY CLASS".

I'm struggling to open this thing... Don't quite understand what is holding the class open and how to close it.

Couple of thoughts ...

If a form is open somewhere, try opening the debugger and see if there are any entries under activeforms, for both system variables _screen and _vfp.

You could use the FoxPro icon to momentarily drop to VFP and edit the class there.

Hope this helps ...

I'm trying to modify it from vanilla vfp... do dice. Tried copying the class to another location, but still couldn't open it.

Odd... I can edit the other forms (form_mover, etc) but not form_

I guess I'll have to copy/paste to each of them.
