Step one is to enable the component when the search button is clicked and all the edit checks are passed. I was thinking of passing a boolean in the component bound to a variabl! e that is defaulted to false and set to true in the search button code, but that didn't work. I couldn't find a property of the component that could be set in the search button click event. TIA, Jerry -- Alex Harui Flex SDK Team Adobe Systems, Inc. http://blogs.adobe.com/aharui
