That doesn't seem to help. Interestingly enough, I am trying to get the container to display on a page of a pageframe where there are two other controls, cttree and cttext (ActiveX controls). It displays behind them but if I switch to a page without those controls, its on top. I tried to reorder the OCX controls (zorder(1)) but that doesn't help. (I hadn't yet frozen the ability to move from page to page when the container is up).

Any other suggestions? Maybe this container just has to be another form.

TIA,

Bill
