Good point. So the user has to try and fail unapply. Please then bring a pop-up window with the error. Having to click some icon to see the error is not ok. Also, just writing an error message in the status bar (or progress bar) is not enough. The standard way of notifying the user of a failed operation is a pop up window. At least on Windows. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
