I was making the change in the textbox on the container. I don't understand why you are saying that this is normal. I thought the form would inherit all the properties of the container and therefore the properties of the textboxes of the container. But since you are saying it is normal, and I have no doubt that you know this better than I, I will just have to accept it as fact.
Thank you for your help.
