You should be able to accomplish that by drilling down through the controls on the forms.

The reason that thisform.cmdSave.visible = .f. doesn't work, is because it looks like you have it on a pageframe. Unlike VB, VFP requires that you refer to objects from their containers. So, it'd be thisform.pageframe1.page1.cmdSave.visible = .f.
