I have a two page form, upon which an unwanted dbeditline and its associated label appear in the middle of the second page when the form is executed. However, in the formdesigner these controls do not appear anywhere. They have not been set to invisible as showing invisible controls does not reveal them either.

Any suggestions on how to remove controls that cannot be seen?

When you do a quickform, if there are enough controls to make the form 2 pages, Formdes seens to place the controls on the second and subsequent page paritially hidden by the menus and top frame. If you select everything on a page, you can usually drag it down or cut and paste it away.

If all else fails, it is possible to delete it programatically from the window source record.

Thanks for the help. I was able to drag those nasty things down and delete them.

If one suspects a window has controls outside the client area, one can get hold of those controls in the following way:

- Tab through the controls while watching the selection. If the selection disappears you've hit upon a control that lies outside the client area.

- Press arrow key. Under ordinary circumstances this will move the selected control a distance of one pixel, but when the control is wholly or partially outside the client area it will jump inside the client area. (Annoying as , but useful in this case.)
