Hi George,

I think the ActiveX had one of its strange gremlins in it.
I just tried again the MS toolbar, dropped 3 MS imagelist activeX controls on my form, added some BMP's to the Imagelists, popped up the Toolbar control and strange enough I now could select one of the Imagelists on my form in the coolbar.Imagelist, coolbar.HotImagelist and coolbar.DisabledImagelist.

So far so good.
I ran the form still no images on the toolbar (coolbar). But at least no 'property unkown' error.
Then I tried your code, still no luck displaying to images on the toolbar buttons, although I have 4 buttons inserted on my toolbar/coolbar.
When I go back into the property sheet of the coolbar the Imagelist, hotimagelist.. properties aren't populated anymore.
Any clue why the toolbar is not pertaining the values for its properties?

Thanks already for your help.
