Thanks, Larry - I had got to, more or less, your solution as I hinted in my
reply to Dawn but you have also hit the nail on the head for an additional
set of controls - or a change to some current ones that (could) do
"non-data" things.
From my perspective, I'm not sure that there are a huge number of controls
that could be useful as "unconnected" ones but, for example, radio buttons,
check boxes, the various lookup boxes could all be utilised to navigate to
other data or views of the current display.
Sure, as accepted, there are ways around but if others can see an advantage
in making a change in a later version it would be worth suggesting as
possible enhancement.
Regards,
Alastair.

Subject: [RBASE-L] - Re: Browse Using... query
However, if I use the form in Browse mode I can't click
on the check box to display or hide the status bar. Does
anybody have any thoughts on a workaround?
Buttons, which are neither variable nor data attached, should work fine.
If you want the _effect_ of a check box, get two images, one which is an
empty check box and the other which is a checked check box. Create two
bit or speed buttons, one with each image. Initially, the already checked
button is visible (along with a label Show Status Bar) and the other
invisible. When it is clicked, the EEP hides that button and the status
bar and makes visible the other button with the unchecked image.
Now that we can read _and_ write properties, and can add to and remove
from lists in code, it would be nice to have a third parallel set of
controls that were attached to neither a variable nor a database column. .
