>Right, I didn't see that. I always forget about them. I opted to create a AfterFormInit method. I'll probably find use for it elsewere. thanks.

Well, it depends on the behavior you are after, if this is a resuable part of your framework, you might need to go the AfterFOrmInit() route, otherwise, if you wanted change the caption of a button depending on a parameter sent ot he form, just set it in the forms Init().
