>>Thanks, but that's not what I'm looking for. I really just want some code to execute when I drop a new control on a form. Kind of like a builder, but it's not. I don't want anybody to have to do *anything* except drop the control. No modifying the BUILDER.DBF, no making sure the Builder Lock is pressed, etc. I just want some Design Mode Only code to execute, that's all. Thanks again.

All you have to do is to know when you're in design mode (maybe by checking aSelObj() function?) and then run this from within the .init - the only obstacle is that this code is always there, even if you're not in design mode.

I don't think so Dragan, at least it doesn't run the Init code when I drop a control on a form. :(

Having ANY code that I could reliably fire off at design time automatically wouldn't be a problem if it was always there, as long as I could determine design vs runtime.
