Hi Razzak, The DB Navigator is wonderful (I use it all the time) and reducing it down to a simply a "+" provides the desired functionality. But I was trying to get a button that was a bit more descriptive. Thanks for taking the time to point out the class groupings for controls. That was helpful
Your other suggestion, dynamically changing eeps is new to me and very interesting, I'm going to have to work with that some. Thanks for the reference. Suggesting using PROPERTY TABLE (which Jan also suggested) worked GREAT - just what I was looking for.
