BTW, When and > Valid property are legacy ones and not recommended to use. Yes you can adjust those properties, but my preference is not to. This allows me to have a global colour change control, or to set the colours in a class library, and not worry about this one (or 10 or 100) instance of the control. Yes, When and Valid are legacy. But, IMHO, they are the most suitable in this case. All of the applications that you bring from FP26 to VFP should be rewritten, and this will likely hold true for VFP5 to the next couple of versions, so I don't place much weight in the argument that these are legacy. /Paul
