Sergey, thanks for your help. I found your message #
985841 from 2005. From your example, the adding of a readystate check after about:blank AND after document.write corrected the refresh issue, the image issue was pathing related.
IF FILE("&lcFile")
lcHTML = FILETOSTR(lcFile)
lcHTML = STRTRAN(lcHTML,"FCIS","<FONT COLOR='BLUE'><B>FCIS</B></FONT>",1,20)
lcHTML = "<html><body>"+lcHtml+"</body></html>"
WITH thisform.overview.OleComments
.Navigate("about:blank")
lnStartSeconds = SECONDS()
DO WHILE .ReadyState <> 4 ;
AND (SECONDS()-lnStartSeconds <= 10 )
DOEVENTS
ENDDO
.Document.Open()
.Document.Write(lcHtml)
.Document.Close()
lnStartSeconds = SECONDS()
DO WHILE .ReadyState <> 4 ;
AND (SECONDS()-lnStartSeconds <= 1 )
DOEVENTS
ENDDO
ENDWITH
ENDIFHad to include pathing to view the image, which presents another issue with distribution...

These comments are stored in TXT files that i read into a string and then assign to the webcontrol for display via the "Document.Write" command on a foxpro form.
