No they don't :-), but I agree with Dave now. See my other post. If you create a command button class, and in the click method of the class access a protected property or method of the same class at the same level then drop that button onto a form, the click method fails!

>>No. An object on the form cannot access its own protected properties. For example, code inside click method cannot access this.protectedproperty.
