I have a
base form A that has just the basic Accept and Cancel buttons, and some coded functionality
for data base apps. When in the designer I create a new form B and by code I
specify it inherits from A, visually I can see the two buttons coming from the
base form, with the usual lock icons. My problem is when I run for the first
time the program, in run-time the buttons disappear; when I go back to the
child form using the designer, buttons are just gone.... 
What’s wrong is it a bug
If any one can help, I can send you required files.
Thank you,
Guillermo

Hi,
If you wish I can send you my project and indications about the parent and child forms; its kind of simple. Includes a small database though. My mail is guillermo@gnsis.net so you can give me your mail.
Thanx,
Guillermo

Try giving the 'inherits' statement a fully qualified syntax.
Re-build, and see if that helps.

Maybe I'm doing it different than you, but I don't get
any disappearing buttons.
I do have trouble getting the 'inherits' statement on form2 to work.
I have to change the syntax back and forth a couple of times
to get rid of an error message.
I am testing with just 1 button on form1 which gets 'picked up'
into form2. I added nothing directly to form2 in the designer.
I did resize form2 in the designer and the locked 'carry over'
button still appears in the IDE and when I run the program.
No idea why it is working different for you.

Hi,
I think I found the problem; the base form has a size of 300 by 300. If I keep this size in the child (inherited) form, the windows works and looks ok with the base form's buttons. If I change the child form size in design time, buttons are still there... but as art of magic
, if just after that I build and run the app., buttons in the child form disapear !!! in design and run-time 
Is it normal is it a bug

Click on my name in the post to find my e-mail.
I'll try to look at it if it comes through okay.
(I am not a VB guru my any means, but I like learning
by trying to solve these type problems. Until the wife
pulls the plug on the PC anyway!)
