That makes sense--oddly enough. I just wish I could assign the documentFile property during the Init of an OleControl. I'm sure there's a really good reason why we can't reassign an olecontrol to a different document...Well, one problem would be (maybe) having setting an excel object documentFile to, say, an access database...
