Hi Jim,

>VCX's are available at runtime? I didn't know that ... I'm interested in something that runs as part of my application, not at design time.

Sure. If the VCX is compiled into your EXE you can "USE" it just like any other embedded table. The only thing you could possibly be missing is the contents of the "methods" column if "Debug Info" was disabled when it was compiled. But your "properties" column will be included, no matter what.
