Tim,

That's a good idea. In fact, it's what I do in FoxPro most of the time with buttons. I get so focused on the things that are different in .NET I sometimes forget the things that should be the same.

>>I have a form which has a variety of criteria a user can enter for locating a particular record. If they enter a specific id, I would like to go ahead and fire the click method of the button to locate a record. It seems like it should be obvious to me but I can't figure out what parameters to pass to the click method. I tried passing the arguments that were passed to the Leave method of the text box but that did not work. Can anyone help with this? Thanks.
