thisform._mouseoverfx1.oCurrentCoolControl = .NULL.

ThisForm should be right...the class is called _mouseoverfx1 and the property is oCoolControl. Do I not have the reference constructed properly? The other thing I noticed is that in the property sheet for _mouseover, the oCoolControl property is set to "=NULL" rather than ".NULL" Can this make a difference?
