>>>Is there a way to get a controls hierarchy at design time? I see the SYS(1272) but it's only good at runtime. I can select a group of controls and get there names with ASELOBJ but I'm not sure how to get the hierarchy ie. form name, pageframe..... TIA

Doesn't look like that is quite what I need. I'm looking for something that will work in design mode not at runtime. Can't use thisform.ControlCount from the command window. I'm trying to select a group of controls on a form and have a routine build me a list of these controls prefixed with there location. ie: form1.pageframe1.textbox . I can create a list of the controls with ASELOBJ and looping through it. Just not sure how to get the hierarchy in. Thanks again....
