Subject Re: combobox / msgbox From Lee Grant <camilee@nospam.comcast.net> Date Wed, 28 Feb 2024 01:30:37 -0500 Newsgroups dbase.getting-started Michel, Incidentally, I was going through the files in my test area, and I noticed after tracking down whose file it was, that you have created a .cc file (lgcontrols) and I noticed all of your custom objects still have the Object(parent, name) which I think is supposed to be problematic, at least according to the tip by Ken Mayer in his books. If it's working for you, disregard, but I just noticed it going through looking for a file and thought I better mention it, in case some of the problems you have with it are related to that.
