Hi Bill,

Take a look at the code that I posted about five messages ago which give a recursive routine that can be called to process all the objects in all the containers in a form. This could be modified to do what you need.

I have something similar in a system but before VisStudio service pack 3 if the form had an error, all the interconnected objects would make VFP crash. This seems to be much better though after Vis Studio SP3
