I have tried and repeated this many times and it could be an apparent bug or something set wrong in my code. I have found that if you place an Active-x control on the 2nd form of a formset, the activex control is not visible. (This is for VFP 6.0 only 5.0a works fine)

Try:

Create Formset
Include 2 Forms and make 2nd form invisible
Put Command button on form1 with code:
thisform.visible = .f.
thisformset.form2.visible=.t.
On the second form place a Command button and a Progressbar active x control (Progressbar should show outline of control on start)
In Command Button code put:
thisformset.release

Then run the form. once you press the command button on form1 the form is made invisible and form2 is visible as is the command button on form2 but the progress bar is not visible. This can be duplicated on my system everytime.
