Hi Ed.

In my edit button, I was hoping to not have to reference every control on a form (to much code). Instead I was thinking of something like placing all controls in a pageframe and then enabling and disabling just the pageframe. Does that sound like a good plan? What do you do?

BTW it seems as though a combobox will disable if the pageframe is disabled that it is contained in.
