Ah, i see, fair enough. Otoh, I've never been a big fan of this "disable controls and let the user figure out why they are disabled"-school of UI-Design. In my apps i let my controls enabled and show an alert explaining why they can't be used under the current circumstances (or use a helptag). Saves me from having to deal with a lot of support incidents, like this one. And in this particular window, your enabling-strategy would be easier to grasp, if the controls that "work together" would be located next to each other. Just my 2 cents.
