Mike,

I looked through the help and it still wont enable the buttons.

I am not building a browser. I am using this in a different way. I have an windows app that I need to maintain a history of where the user has gone. I want to add items to the history at runtime, by supplying the TEXT and the TAG. The tag will allow me to hanlde the BeforeNavigation and AfterNavigation events to call my own ShowItem method, which will actually load a new mdiChildForm.

I just cant get the buttons to enable.

Thanks

The back and forward buttons will be enabled if you call InitializeHistory on the NavigationToolbar and pass in non-empty collections for the backHistory and forwardHistory parameters. If you are doing this, put a breakpoint on the method call and make sure it is actually getting called.
