>Hi I have a mdi top level form and I have added a container class with buttons as a toolbar. I launch other mdi forms as "show in top level" and it works fine - these are my various data entry forms... My question is how do enable/disable the buttons in my container class on the top level mdi form?

Chris,
MDI or SDI there isn't a direct relation between forms.
You could launch a for with name clause and use that name from another form.
