>Oops, that was a false memory. That happened in my addactivate method which is called by my baseclass form's Activate. This method call is from within a WITH/ENDWITH. I thought that was somewhat bizarre behaviour at the time and changed it when I found it -- just in case MS decides to fix it in future versions.

Waw! I feel better now. I thought it was me that can't make it work. And I wasn't sure it was a nice behaviour after all...

What I found that I really didn't know (seeing at a really poor activex sample code) is that when you issue:

DO FORM MYFORM

you get a public reference to the form under the variable MYFORM.

Therefore you can do, for example:

MYFORM.CAPTION = "Isn't is funny!"

Is this documented somewhere?
