I have a procedure that is used in most forms that I have in my TblClass.vcx. I drag and drop TblClass onto the form then use the procedures in there. I just had the thought that it would be easier to just add a Method to my form base class for IsEmpty(). That way it is always there when I need it. Is there any reason not to have several procedures added to your form class to handle routine things?

Basicly IsEmpty() just checks the control.value to see if it is empty(). if it is empty it puts up a messagebox and returns the focus to that control. I use it in my cmdSave control...

Thanks
