I have isolated what the problem is;

When setting a property value on an ActiveX control VFP will allow only 2 parameters within the brackets.

So this is ok

MyObject.Property(x,y)=1

this is not

MyObject.Property(x,y,z)=1

VFP seems to see the second example as a 3 dimensional array which it obviously does not support. This behaviour can be replicated with a few different ActiveX controls and I have found examples going back to VFP5.

For my own issue I have had to build a data table in raw RTF and then paste it into the txText control. I don't see that there is a generic work around that would help here.

Thanks for all your help.

Gary.
