>But how do you solve the "irrelevent enabled controls" problem? For example, is your Undo and/or Cancel button always enabled? That's my problem; I get downright anal about controls not being enabled that have no function depending on the current form state. In a permanent edit mode, you have to get cute with the interactivechange of your parent classes.

Nope, not always enabled. When the Save button gets enabled, the Cancel button also gets enabled. Interactive change is exactly what I've used. It wasn't a big deal to put a couple of lines of code into my base classes and add a Mode property to the form so that it knows if it's in one of 4 states:

- Edit
- Add
- Query
- None
