As I said in my other reply, using the command group helped me solve my problem. I had always thought that it didn't make any sense that the converted did this - I had limited exposure to it in the mid 90's. But now I am wondering whether in fact it is a good idea to always implement an individual command button as a member of a command group?

>>>BTW - additional info: This app was converterted, I think, with the conversion utility that converts a 2.6 app to vfp. The converter makes every individual button part of a command group - either the converter did this or the people who originally wrote the app did it - I'm not sure. Maybe I can use this to my advantage by keeping the command group enabled but the button itself disabled? I haven't tested this yet. Just thought of it now while writing...
