>Yes the control is listed and selected. I read somewhere (maybe MSDN) that when you install a cotrol it puts one entry in the registry for use as a run time and one for the use in development, I guess what I am trtying to do is force the entry for development which does not appear to be working the way I am doing it.

I wasn't aware that the control registers once for development and once for production. I don't know the exact answer off-hand. But you might try unregistering the control using Regsvr32 /u, then try using VFP to register the control from the Tools/Options/Controls point. Beyond this, I don't know what else to suggest.
