to data in a SQL database.  Is there anything simple like a slightly
more complicated list box?  Even if I could use a listbox of strings

If you have a disabled button in a form (or tabpage) whose background
color is customized, the text on the disabled button will not be

of the button's owner, making it glow, destroying the apperance that
