Judith, Yeah, I figured it probably wouldn't be easy to do. Here's a suggestion that's not as good as "auto-change", but might be better than nothing if it would work: make a right-click pop-up menu choice (Change Control Name?), that would ask for a newname for the control that was right-clicked on; that way, you'd have both the old control name & the new one available, so you could search through all the events for the old one & replace it with the new one. Might not be so easy, though, to find any references to the control *inside* procedures.
