Hi Mike ---

This was the very first type of use I made of Assign and I use it as standard in my form classes now. I have an experimantal application that uses almost no method calls, just sets flags and Assigns/Accesses are doing all the work.

If you become a Premium member, you can search old threads. In particular, there were a lot of threads from May though September started by me, Jim Booth, and a number of other people exploring this and related issues.

>I don't know whether this has already been covered but I found that a great place to put form behavior code is in the assign method for a property. I usually have a property called ladding on my forms to indicate that we are adding a record, I now put all my control (vcr buttons etc) display code in the assign method and test the status of the property within this method.
