That is what I expected but:
If I look at the properties of custoolbars I see iatbrinstances but when I run the application, I open the watch window and there is no property iatbrinstances for the object otoolbars.

Thanks

>>I have a global toolbar instantiated via the setupcustom method of the application object, just as the documentation describes. My problem is that I have a dropdown combo box in the toolbar and I want to change the value from the current active form. But I do not know what the object reference would be. I can do this interactively by typing:
>>oMytoolbars = newobject('tbrtmgen','libs\tmfwfrm')
>>oMytoolbars.show
>>
>>oMytoolbars.cboLocation.value = 'abc'
>>
>>What do I use in place of "oMytoolbars" when running the application?
>>TIA
