SYMPTOMS

When you place a subclass of an existing class on a form, and the name of that subclass ends in a number, Visual FoxPro fails and returns this error message: 

   A member object with this name already exists.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. This problem has been fixed in Visual FoxPro 5.0 for Windows.

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Problem

  1. Create a TextBox subclass called TxtBox1.
