Dave;
"Have you thought about replacing the commandbuttons from the control toolbox
toolbar with buttons from the Forms toolbar?"

I'll try it, to be honest I don't know why I used command buttons (usually use the form
buttons-wrote the app a long time ago).

Thanks for the reply, typically when I don't receive a reply it means that I've "missed
the boat", which is sometimes a good "non-reply" (makes me go back and look a little
closer!).
