Victor:
I'm awfully sorry for having wasted your time, but I REALLY appreciate your help.
As it turns out, I MUST be really starting to get senile, as I think I've experienced some sort of brain fart.
I was looking to add a control on a form, and for some reason I was clicking on the TOOLBOX icon instead of the "forms control" icon. Frankly, I don't even know what that tool box icon is for. So I'm ok... of course now I'm wondering what that toolbox icon is for.

Anyway, as I said... thank you very much for your attempt to help an imbecile. I really appreciate it.
