Thanks to you too Joe. I'll make sure I build what I need and make it's visible property false. It will work well for what I need in my panels. cheers Derek

You can't create a control out of thin air, but you can clone an existing control. Just put a control of the sort you want on the window, and set its Index property to 0, making it a control array. Then you can create a new one at runtime, using "New" and the name of the control, e.g.: Dim a as New WhizzyField where "WhizzyField" is the name you gave to the control in the form editor. Now you can adjust the properties of a (you'll want to at least move it so that it doesn't overlap the old one). Note that a becomes a new member of the WhizzyField control array, and gets all the same event implementations an the original.
