Actually, this won't run the code from the parent Class, but it will run he code from the parent Container. If you've got a subclassed button on a pageframe on a form, and you want ot run the code from the parentclass of the button, then you run: =eval(this.class+"::init()") This will generate an expression that looks something like: =eval("sys_commandbutton::init()") which is what you want. The code that you suggested will run the init event of the, lets see.. Form PageFrame Page Button ... the PageFrame, which may be what you want in other cases, but not here.
