In a manner similar to Mr Stowell's and Mr Booth's, I have a method that is in my form template class called .SetControlsEnabled(). It accepts two parameters, the first is a reference to a container object (form, page, container) and the second is either .T. or .F. depending on what I need the .Enabled property of the contained controls to be. The method loops through all the controls contained on whatever was passed in setting the .Enabled property.
