The buttons change color automatically I think because they have a Color Scheme property but the forms do not. You're welcome. I ...Show All

First, we're implementing the licensing scheme that Doug Hennig described ...Show All

  With many controls added to a form I am beginning to sense a problem. During runtime many controls will be invisible on the first page but when subsequent pages are chosen they will appear.
