>Another thing, a good way to test for these types of things is to try and instantiate an object of the desired control within a TRY, CATCH, ENDTRY block so that you can take appropaite action and/or inform the user.
This is exactly what I am trying to do. To add Try/Catch to the old code (that was developed under VFP 6) and to load this .ocx on-the-fly. Your suggestion of renaming the .OCX works. I can duplicate the error.
Now I will try to just place the .ocx in the application folder and see if I can load it on-the-fly.
Thank you so much for your help.
