>Barbara, I have cut/pasted a section of the form containing a label,a textbox and and cmdbutton. I saved that as a control into mytoolbar.vcx.Now I can refer to it as one thing. Is this the way to go about it?

Timothy,
Probably it's the right way, but I'd like more information. Could you give a longer explanantion on what you're trying to accomplish?

Thanks,
Barbara
