Francois, could you give us more information on "Doesn't work properly" please? Do you have an error message? Data going to the wrong table? Input not getting data?

Be sure your OCX is registered for USE as well as development. Run RegSvr32. Registering a second time won't hurt anything.

I have a similar program, and at first had trouble with the return data. Then I found a variable which was PUBLIC in the VFP environment, and not properly initiated in the EXE. Silly, but I spent quite a lot of time looking at the OCX instead of my own programming.
