I was working with VFP7 on XP and was working with a large .vcx with a lot of methods. For some strange reason the method code of one method would appear in another and some of the method code disappeared. I got in the habit of putting the method name at the top of the method code in a comment so I could rebuild the class if necessary. I also got in the habit of making frequent backups of the class and clicked Save before exiting a method after making changes. Now I click Save whether I work with Dabo or VFP and I have not seen the problem since.
