>>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?

the form is a simple ordering system. Required: Base PN#(1-3 choices), 2ndary PN#, and then Qty. The BASE PN# choices are represented by a 3 button cmdgroup, the 2ndary PN# and qty by textboxes. On the form there's 5 cmdbuttons, some labels, & 2 textboxes. While textbox1(2ndaryPN#) is the focus, the user is required to enter value. At this point if he clicks on a cmdbutton, it screws up the logic of how the form is supposed to work. After the user hits ENter on textbox1, textbox2 opens for input(qty). Textbox1 opens a dbf and displays the match via a label, textbox2 activates a listbox for running shopping list.simple enuf?
