DBI-tech will not provide support for the 8 controls they give as part of Sedna after 30 days unless you buy another product. So I am hoping somebody here has some answers.

Well, considering that they gave us all those controls for free, you can't really expect them to provide unlimited free support as well, can you? Everyone has to make a living <s>

I do not have samples using ctToolBar, but I have sample from the other free DBI controls on the tools and utilities page my website. Just download the white paper and code samples for my conference presentation entitled "Using Microsoft ActiveX Controls (Updated)" There is a section on some of the free DBI controls in there - once you understand how one of them works you can apply that to the others.
