Fred,

>I only want one form to change the other to remain the same. I have many clients one of them(PITA) wants to change the text of the save button on each form e.g. "Save Purchase Order" etc. I just have "Save" as Caption on all forms.

If I understand you correctly, your user wants to change the text of the Save button to "Save Purchase Order" on one form and for example, "Save Inventory" on another form?

If this is the case, in order to provide a unique translation for each button, you would need to have unique text on each Save button. That's because the text itself is used as a lookup key for the text at run time. Normally, this is a very good thing...it allows you to translate the text once and have it picked up all throughout the application.

Best Regards,
