>>Cheers George, if the Activex control version changes, does it have a different OLEClassID value in the users registry that maybe I could check?

>Do you mean license (CLSID)? I don't think so. Once a given control is registered, I believe it maintains the same registry values even when updated. From my experience, new controls work fine if they're simply copied into the system directory, and don't have to be re-registered. In VFP 5.0/5.0a, you can use the GetFileVersion() function in foxtools to get the version number of the controls. Does this answer your question?

Hello George,
yes it does and thanks again
Pete
