SYMPTOMS

When you save a class and give it a filename of a class that already exists, the following error occurs even if SET SAFETY is OFF:
A class with that name already exists, overwrite it?
Visual FoxPro provides you the ability to suppress an overwrite screen on forms, reports, and etc. However, there is not a way to suppress this message when overwriting a class.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.
