Douglas,

You need to keep in mind that your VFP object is a container that has the OLE control inside of it so you need to tell VFP that you want the property of the item inside the OLEControl Container with syntax like;

LostFoucs
  ldDatePicked = Thisform.OLEControl1.Object.Value

The keyword Object in this syntax is referring to the OLE control that is inside the OLEControl Container.
