>>Yep, that's it exactly. You've got the design time license, and with that, it works fine. I've mentioned this before, but sometime (last year or before) there was an article in the MSDN news about extracting design time licenses. I want to say that it dealt with the MSCOMM32 control (which suffers from the same behavior). It was directed towards C++ users (which should tell you that it ain't easy to do< g >).
