>Look at 'OLE Control Licensing in Visual FoxPro [Q139154]' in MS Knowledge base, if you have not already seen it. Thanks for the help!

Does this help you? Instead of embedding the object in a form, you are embedding it in a class library. The information stored in the SCX is the same information that will be stored in the VCX. Eiher way, you are locked into that version of the control with its associated license key value.

IAC, I'm happy you found a solution.
