Subject Re: attaching a method to MYTOOLBAR From Andy Taylor <andy.taylor.1959@outlook.com> Date Tue, 01 Sep 2020 19:23:26 -0400 Newsgroups dbase.getting-started Gaetano, I don't think that's true. The problem here is that it's hard to visualise what you want without some sample code. Stripped down as much as you like... then we have something to work with. It's easy for you to understand what you want... you can see your code and understand your problem... we have to guess.
