I just ran across another problem.
When I load up a form from another form the second time, one of my command buttons disappears.
When I do it again it's back.
It only does it every other time.

Any suggestions.

Thanks again for the help

I am very new to this. But I think having a look at your code may help. Someone will be along to check it out.

Cmd button disappears
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So far I have traced it down to a problem (I think) with the Style property. When I choose graphical my problem appears and when I change back standard my problem goes away. There are 5 cmd buttons on my form and this is the only one giving me this problem.
I have compared all the settings in properties with each button and they are all set the same.

Could this be a bug in vb6?

Thanks again for any and all help.

ps. If need be I can live with it.

I don't know why that would be. I created two forms, using Graphical for an options button on the second form. Using Form2.Show I tried to duplicate the problem, but couldn't.

There is another option for the command button. Setting the command button Style to graphical. Then creating a bitmap with the text you want to display and using the bitmap as the picture for that command button.

That's my problem, when I select graphical, that's when my cmd button disappears.

Mosaic1, I sent you my project. you'll have to make a "saves" folder, that's where my app. saves the files.

Thanks again for the help.

Sorry Mosaic1 I sent my project to another buddy.

I'll try to attch it here. It's a zip file, so I don't think it'll work.

Sorry I can;t seem to send it.

I'll email it to you if you wish, let me know.

my email address is wespeters@telus.net

If you post your code here, that should do it. Although I am not sure what help I can be. Maybe someone else will pop in.

Tell me how many forms and what exactly to put on them, etc and I'll see if I have the same problems you are having.

Hi All

Got my program working.

In my cmdDone code I had Unload me and the next line I had frmWindow.Hide.

I removed the frmWindow.Hide and everything works Great.

I didn't relize that with Unload I didn't need to hide the frm.

It seems the frm was reloading itself again and thus my problem.

Thanks for all your help.

You guys are great.

Hey Wes,

Glad it's fixed. I just saw your post over at the General Visual Basic Board.
