>>What I want is to be able to take a form that is a class, do a search and replace, and create a new form with the new values. So, I created a form visually and saved it as a class. Then I created the code from the class which I figured I use to do the search and replace and then generate a form from the code. Is there a better way?

Or create a from class and use that class to create a form with the form designer and run the new form in the runtime system.

I understand about the subclassing but I want to change the ControlSource and Names of the fields. I will give your suggestion a try. Thanks.

BTW, are you going to be in the Wash. DC area the first Thursday in December?
