Rick,
Fred was referring to ActiveBar which is made by Data Dynamics. Their web site is www.datadynamics.com. Check out their support section, they have newsgroups set up to answer questions on their ActiveX controls. Also, Fred I've just begun using the control in some forms. To intialize the control you need to 1. call its detach method 2. call its attach method( kind of backwards) and then 3. Call the recalc method. These calls need to be made in the forms init method. If you have anymore questions let me know.
