>>>Are you getting errors when you try to set the property? VFP should be able to set the properties just like VB in this case. The only difference may be that you have to reference the form when setting it.

The ActiveX is FarPoint Spread 3.0. They don't say their control works with VFP, so i don't think they have tested it with VFP.
I'm sure about the negative value.
