Controlling buttons from program file

[ShortyII]

Hi,

The question is the following.
I have made a form called rj_edit2 and there i put some buttons on cmbUnit

Now i have a program file where i want to control the visibilety of the buttons.

But how can i reach the buttons on the form.

Normaly i use thisform. but this dosn't work because i'm not on the form.

If someone could please help me.

I played around a bit and managed to do it using:

_screen.ActiveForm.command1.Visible = .F.

Command1 is the name of the button.


However, I am not a big fan of this approach and unless there is a specific need for it I would stay away from changing the form in a program. It appears that could get real messy & tough to debug over time.

Thanx

It works fine.
I use it to disable controls at hand of the username and put it into a access lib i could do it into the screen but now i can reach it in one lib.

Thanx
