Thank you for your response. In my all nigth adventure with this, I assumed 
that to be the case. I now do a SendNotifyMessage and use a custom WindowProc 
to get myself out of the mess. The code is real messy at the moment but it 
works!. I will do a cleanp over the next week.

Is this the group that deals with backgrounds on forms? I am trying to put a 
colorful (company logo etc.) on my form. From what I can figure it would 
require the buttons & labels to have a transparent background. I'm using BCB4 
and I know 6 is better at many things but I'm a private contractor and 
upgrading is a luxury. I would love to know how to do that.
