from what I'm aware, and you can look at the source to confirm, but any action in an action list on the main form are handled by all forms. the action call back code checks the active form, before asking the mainform to test it. <br>
<br>I have just added basic edit cut,copy paste actions to my main form and have a single popup menu on the main form, which i dynamically bind to all edit controls in the app. its working perfectly<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">
