Yes a typo Shift 1 (!) The pb constructor code looks OK this.PUSHBUTTON1 = new PUSHBUTTON(this)    with (this.PUSHBUTTON1)       onClick = class::PUSHBUTTON1_ONCLICK       height = 1.0909       left = 9.0       top = 2.5       width = 15.2857       text = "Pushbutton1"    endwith and is present in the inspector. I have tried with a substitute form with just a push button and get same error message. Also tried oSub.open() in the amain.wfm onopen event and nothing happens no sub form or error message. Tried with just sub_dele.wfm substituting header  but same results. This is the first time I've tried using subforms and using  simply code (Ken's book examples)in main form additional class have not got father than blank sub forms which don't appear to be contained in the main forms. Thanks for taking a look. Trevor [although xananews shows -4.00 I'm actually GMT (can't find setting)]
