PMFJI, but it's not really that strange. When you drop something from the toolbar onto a form, you are dealing with the top-level container (the form itself). In order for VFP to know what container you want to put the control in, you have to select it. Selecting it for editing does this.

In VFP 7, they added hot-keys to drill down into containers to make things easier.
