Yeah but that will then stop access to the controls. ie simon wants the user to be able to click a control to get help but not to action that control. Ur method would require a lot of work in say calculating the position of the mouse when clicked on the form relative to the position of the button on the disabled frame.

I think the WhatsiDooHelp will be the right choice. I just cant offer much assistance on it but i am sure it is not hard.
