------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sun May 11 11:47:00 +0000 2008 ------- When designing a form in a "writer" document, as is done in Base, it is necessary to ungroup a control from its Label to get to the properties of the control or to move one part on the page with respect to the other. The action of ungrouping the control from its label causes both the objects to fall to the bottom of the list of controls (as seen with the Form Navigator) and as such changes the GetByIndex number required to access any controls in that particular form. If you watch the Form Navigator whilst doing this you will see it occur in front of your eyes. The problem that occurs is the unwanted effect of disrupting the operation of any Macros that need to use this method to access a controls properties. There is no workaround for this bug when it comes to using a "Groupbox" that contains "Radio Buttons" as you are not able to use other methods to access the properties of the radio buttons. To work correctly as a group they must all exhibit the same name (ruling out GetByName). This problem is an annoyance when constructing database forms that use macros that obtain a control using GetByIndex. A macro needs to be repaired with the new index numbers when ever an ungroup occurs of a control higher up the list than the groupbox and radiobuttins.
