[DUG] Adding button to form

[Colin/Mina]

Thanks

 1.  The button is placed on the Panel at design time and shows in the
Object Inspector. It doesn't show up anywhere on the form when I Build and
Run the application.

2.  Directly copying and pasting an existing button, that does show, then
renaming it doesn't make it visible when I run the app.

3.  Tag value of new button is same as all others = 0.

4.  renaming Original Button and givig the added button its name, doesn't
fix the problem.

5. STOP PRESS.
    No, I'm mot using form inheritance but I think Stacey is on to it. I was 
looking at that possibility when I was interrupted and came back to find his 
email. I think I'm somehow not working on the same project but still on its 
its ancestor, having taken a copy to work on.

  From memory I've been caught like this before.

Will confirm tomorrow.

  Cheers

     Colin
