Evelyn,

The OLEControl is a container object. It contains the ActiveX control. The Object property of the OLEControl refers to the object contained inside it. So,

Thisform.OLEControl.Width = 120  && sets the width of the OLEControl
Thisform.OLEControl.Object.Width = 120 && sets the width of the object
                                       && inside the OLEcontrol

In theory you only need to use the Object reference when there is confusion between the OLEControl and the Object inside of it, but I have found that using it whenever referring to the object inside does not cause any problems and it causes the code to be much more self documenting.
