Well, I thought that would do the trick, but it didn't. I had to resort to making the control Visible and Not Visible, the tricky part is the form Deactivate event fires multiple time becuase focus is moving to the ActiveX control. Finally got it working...... a little bit better, not correctly. I also had to resort to native D&D instead of OLED&D, this could be done is certain parts of the application but not all, so unfortunately the problem is there, I only could try and minimize the issue.

I also took a look at VFP SP2 because it said there was somthing about OLED&D that was fixed, but that didn't help either.

Thanks for the suggestion.
