I have a question first. Since the save buttons don't enable when I enter the data and close the form I get the dialog box asking if I want to save the changes. Is there some switch somewhere that says use the dialog box instead of a toolbar? Maybe in the preferences or project even?
Oh I did put it in the Save button on the form and not the toolbar. Still many lines of code. I did see where it used this.enabled but I will try and see what was on the left side of the equal sign that made this false.
Thanks for your help.


>>I put those commands in the refresh of the button and it goes thru a bazillion lines of code and I was unable to find out where the enable of the button was being set false or not being set true. Sorry.

In the form's IsEnabled method, look at the class hierarchy list and take a peek at the code that runs for the "Save" method. A reason that the Save method will not work is if Codemine thinks that the cursor is "Read Only" ie., you cannot Save to a Read Only cursor. If your cursor is not Read Only, then the kind of thing that Codemine interprets as Read Only is an Empty cursor or a cursor at End Of File. So, open the debugger and create a watch for EOF('CursorName'). It might be that something in your form (or grid) is putting the Save cursor at EOF() and in this case, the Save button will disable.

Are you sure you are using a Codemine text box in the grid? Changes in a native VFP text box will not "tell" Codemine that there are data changes and therefore, there will be no reaction in Codemine controls.
