Hello Juan

Well wnat I got from you ;
1. is that every form will have this toolbar
2. on the load or init of the form you "show toolbar"
3. on the release of the form you "hide toolbar"
right??

if you have multiple forms running at once and want this toolbar for every form.
in that case I would move the "show toolbar" to the active event of the form i.e. thisform.active
and move the hide in the release event i.e. thisform.release


am I on the right path???

hope this helps

>The problem is when u close the form. You have to Hide() it in the unload event of the form right? and what happens to the remaining form ? there is no generic toolbar to manage its records.
