>Let me think about it for a while. BTW, you should consider creating a property on your form to handle passing in parameters instead of using the Tag property. I used the Tag property for a long time before I actually grasped forms were Object Oriented. It gives you a lot more flexibility.

I'm plenty aware that forms are Objects, and in VFP, I've created custom properties and methods all the time. At the risk of asking a silly question, where would one do so in the VB IDE? Believe me, I just searched - or is that something missing in the Express Edition?
