Hey, David! Welcome to the Rev list!

We can take this offlist if you like, but my understanding was that you
needed to have at least one of the object type you wanted to create already
on screen so that you could effectively clone it and manipulate the clone.
That is, if you didn't already have a command button on your form, you
couldn't create one on the fly from code. But perhaps I'm mistaken or
remembering an older RB...
