Thanks Cathi,

Do you have any thoughts on my other thread (712782) about subclassing an abstract component and having the Component designer tell me that I cannot subclass an abstract component?

Thanks again

Rex

>>>Sorry for the misposting before. When you use the MustOverride attribute, you don't use the End Function. Here is the correct code:
