David,

Why not change the .ToolTip = 'Print is disabled for On Hold Orders' at the same time you set Enabled = .f.? Set the .ToolTip = "" when you set .Enabled = .t.

You have to make sure you have the form.ShowTips = .t.

>I disable a Print command button when a given condition exists on a particular record. But the user wants a message to pop up when they click on a disabled button - for example: 'Print is disabled for On Hold Orders'.

>2) Return .f. from the when - misleading also because it looks like the button is enabled.
