I was looking for something > else. But thanks anyway :) Robert, Excuse me for insisting, but you could for example clear all the texboxes, or en/disable them, using this array:

for x= 1 to thisform.controlcount
	if upper(thisform.controls[x].baseclass)='txtbox'
		thisforms.controls[x].value= ''
	endif
endfor

And if you add properties to abstract classes you could call them as well. Now how is that for polymorphism? Marc
