Patrick,

Here's an MS article that discusses the controls.

Exerpt from the page:

WARNING:
The Microsoft Forms 2.0 package was not designed to work outside of the Visual Basic for Applications environment. While individual developers might be successful in deploying it to containers such as Microsoft Internet Explorer, using Forms in this manner is neither recommended nor supported.

Good 'ol MS ;) Anyway, I've found the controls to be reliable in VFP.
