>Yeah, this is a sketchy solution at best. Only works for dragged controls and as you said, doens't change with dbc changes because the property is filled when the control is dragged and never again. I highly recommend a strategy like the one above. YOu can put code in your form class' load event to make sure it always works by opening the Database.

Yep, I got that method working Ok. I think I'll stick with it...

Thanks to all for your help ( yet again )
