Hi Sandor, Form object form events are not linked to the form's events. So the events a button responds to aren't limited by what the form does.
If the button is invisible, perhaps disabled - I have never tried - it won't execute until it's visible. So a button that's invisible to start will never run On load because a button's On load runs before the Form's On load event.
