>>I've noted in the release candidate of VFP 6.0 that the controls that were generating this type of error in 5.0, no longer do so. My experience is that the promise of better ActiveX integration has been addressed in the latest release. Only time (and experience with other controls) will be able to tell us how much so.

Hi Barb,

Just to be specific, the Action property in some of the MS controls were generating a 0x800a018a - Unknown OLE status code error. Prior to version 6.0 of the controls, the VFP property sheet was inaccessible (all the properties simply disappeared). While with the 6.0 versions of the control you still have access to the VFP property sheet, clicking on Action brought up the dialog. In VFP 6.0 it's simply marked as "Write-only".

It seems as if there're improvements on two fronts: With the controls themselves and with VFP. Hopefully, all of these sort of problems will be a thing of the past.
