Ok, so I'm adding the olecontrol class that contains the OleClass property as a subclass? Just trying to get my head around the logic.

Actually, there was a bug in the change I posted earlier < s >. Should be:

THIS.oSock = CREATEOBJECT("Myosock")

Actually, the way that I do this is to use the Visual Class Designer as I told you earlier. I create a custom class based on the OLE Container control and insert the winsock control. Takes about 3 seconds < s >. Then instantiate my custom class at runtime.
