Isabel,

Thank you so much for your input. This makes very good sense and is something that I hadn't thought about.

Thanks again,
Paul

Today's property is often tomorrow's algorithm, and today's o.control can be tomorrow's o.somethingelse.control. You should be able to make changes to the referenced form without having to touch everything that may reference it.
