Thanks, Sergey,

Think I see the point. I think I'm working in opposite direction ; my builderprogram creates an instance of the form (which is runtime), changes it and then executes a object.saveas(), but what you propose is start from the formdesigner (which is designtime) and put my builder on top of that. Correct me if I'm wrong ...

Thanks again.
