What kind of error do you get in the form when you type that??

commented: -=1 because I dealt w/an Unhandled Exception for about an hour earlier, not fun at all. :D -3

open your form in the design-view. Click F7 to get in to the code behind file.
You have to create your procedure inside the Class.
IE: (asuming your form name is Form1...)

Public Class Form1

Private Sub CmdDisabl()
 Cmd_New.Enabled = False
 Cmd_Amend.Enabled = False
End sub

End Class

Have you tried adding the Form's.Name just prior to your Cmd_New.Enabled... ?

Example: Form1.Cmd_New.Enabled = False

commented: I guess the same reason as yours. -2

>>adding form name has solved the problem

Not marking the thread as Solved, gave me a problem? and I have no problematic questions.(sigh) I would cuss you out, though it's morning and I already cussed out a neighboor; hope the previous sentence takes care of your "other" problem, not keeping it IT in an IT forum.

Other than that, glad I could help.:)
