Jay,

Ok, that makes sense. How to handle a situation where you have buttons in the class like Export to Excel, Export to Text, Export to Word, etc., but you find that for the form you are working on, there is never a need for the Export to Word button, but you need all the others and like how they behave?

You may want to either set the Visible or Enabled property of the button concerned on the subclass level.

HTH,

Dennis
