AngelIII, yes, but its a long list ... I have the controls in an array (for each type of control). <br />
<br />
pft ... I had misspelled &quot;hidden&quot; - only had one &quot;d&quot; and well what a time waster this has been ....<br />
<br />
answer this query for the points ....<br />
<br />
If I wanted to store the names of each control in an ini file - including its index, how would I do that ? I could then retrieve it later and then make the controls either hidden or visible depending on the value contained in the ini file ?

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
