>You can safely create a method with a name "Browse" and not have any side-effects (others here may disagree with this) since the method always has to be called as part of the parent; i.e., thisform.Browse(). This will not be in conflict with the BROWSE command -- they have difference syntax in the calling. Now that being said, what if you miss typing the period? Then you would have an error that may not be obvious. Also, if others are going to also work with the code, it could lead to confusion as to which Browse is being used by another person.

I hope this isn't being too quibbly, but wouldn't you want a browser to be more generic than that?

BTW, I hope Dennis actually has a grid in mind, not a browse window. That would be REALLY retro.
