    1) you need to give a name to the button (see name property of the button)
    2) To enable/disable it : currForm.TheButton.ENABLED(Some condition);

    BTW : IF you want to use it on a textbox, you better use EDITABLE(some condition)

    write the code on after record in form level.

    take this scenerio for example if the structure is there in the purchase order then Visible otherwise not.

    IF "structure " <> ' ' THEN

    CurrForm.Structure.VISIBLE(FALSE)

    ELSE

    CurrForm.Structure.VISIBLE(TRUE)

    It is more readable/compact to write: 
    CurrForm.Structure.VISIBLE("structure" = ' ')

    It's also more user friendly to leave the button enabled and throw an error if everything is not correct. A disabled button just leaves the user wondering how to enable it with no clues.
