Thanks for the response..

What I want to have is for the box to be disabled when they are editing an existing record and enabled when they are adding a new record (i.e. right after pressing the New button.. I thank I just need to know how to hook into the button click event, but when I made a btnNew_click event, I got an error telling me "btnNew_Click shadows an overridable method in a base class." and an error telling me it needed a withEvents clause..

Someone with more experience than me could probably understand what that means.. :)
