You could move your controls inside a Enhanced Group Box or Enhanced Panel give that a componentid and turn everything off and on at the same time by only giving the group a single Component ID. All it takes is the Group and a button outside the group with the code below. SET VAR vTest TEXT = NULL GETPROPERTY test ENABLED vTest IF vTest = 'false' THEN PROPERTY test ENABLED 'TRUE' ELSE PROPERTY test ENABLED 'false' ENDIF Make sure you start the from with the group turned off PROPERTY test ENABLED 'false' Victor Timmons Tiz's Door Sales, Inc Visit us at www.tizdoors.com <http://www.tizdoors.com/> P Please consider the environment before printing this e-mail

I ended up bringing up the fields one at a time and assigning the same componentid to all the fields. That was my experience, but I am a novice.

I know I could bring the form up with "browse using", and have an "edit" button close the form and reopen it with an edit.... But the form already takes quite a long time to load and I don't think he'll be happy with waiting for it to load again. Is my only other option to assign the componentID to each field one-by-one on the form? No way to mass-assign the same componentID to a bunch of fields, right? Just want to make sure I'm not missing something I could be doing. Trade-off on form loading time vs. programming time to do the compID thing. Karen
