>>>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.

Make things easier:
Thisform.SetAll("visible",.f.,"cmdSave")
'cmdSave' is class from where all 'Save' button should be instanciated.
