Thanks,

Good idea, this fixes the problem in a very simple way. you know i have to "unlearn" VFP.

>>>The base class's constructor executes in it's entirety before the derived class's constructor, so you wouldn't be able to put a call to an AfterInitializeComponent() in the constructor of the base class. But, a class's Load event fires next (after both constructors, base and derived), so you could put a call to an AfterInitializeComponent() in your base class's Load event handler (which will execute in it's entirety before the derived class's Load event).
