Hi Frank

>I use code like oX = SYS(1270) to get an object reference to things on forms and then you can check the ox.controls to go through each of the controls and see if the name matches the one you are looking for, then display the "path" to that control.

Thanks a lot for your suggestion. I have tried to create a small prg for this purposes. Will trouble you if I get stuck.

In the same vein, in the properties sheet, with same level of complications. Judging the indentation of a control in the cbo does not give an indication of the real depth (so after page down few times we see a change in indentation), is there any way to judge if the change in indentation for a control, the control is a sibling of the control 3 pageup back?
