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.
That is the result of copying & pasting objects without paying attention <g>.
In addition to Mike Byerley's post above ...
While reviewing all controls listed under the Object List, clicking on the
item will also select the appropriate object (even hidden objects behind
the panel, etc).
Using the latest updates and builds of R:BASE eXtreme 9.5, you can use the
[Del] key to delete the object(s) accordingly.
Very Best R:egards,
