This would be correct. And when you do find it MS has almost always been nice enough to include all code samples with VB constants. Then they make it not quite so easy to find out the values of the constants without jumping through a hoop or two. (Like doing a VBA Macro in Excel to get the values of the corresponding constants) Other than this little hurdle you will find most ActiveX controls to be really easy to use. At least if you keep in mind that each one is unique object with it own list of properties and methods as you mentioned. I tend to find it easier to think of it like I would a TextBox. Using code to manipulate the ActiveX object is really no different than using code to manipulate the TextBox. Its just a different set of properties and methods.

Good Luck
