I promise you if the Object List says there are two controls, there ARE two controls.
They are either behind another control or their Right or Top number is such that they are out of sight. Double click on the control in the Object List to bring up its property page and check the settings to find the control that is being obscured. > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Tom > Frederick > Sent: Monday, October 27, 2014 4:24 PM > To: RBASE-L Mailing List > Subject: [RBASE-L] - Object List Question > > While cleaning up some forms, I clicked on the Object List and found > more controls than the form had.
