Forms have a collection of controls, (even a Shape control) and it is capable of showing each type of control as they are meant to be shown. Plus Form's seem to keep track of the one control that has the focus. As you see, the form's collection contains different types of controls. How did they do that? And, isn't that about the same thing that you want to do? LFS
