mark -
the SETFOCUS (for whatever strange reason is what i needed to do).
THISFORM.my_container.ole_control.OBJECT does not have a VISIBLE property
(or a height, width, left, top). those are properties of
activeX "container", not the object...
i found that by trying just what you suggested.
do you happen to know of any white paper or other reference that
describes / discusses the distinction between the oleContainer
and the oleContainer.OBJECT ??
the only property of the OBJECT that i'm sure of (the only one that
i have actually used), is VALUE (to set the date in this case).
would a type library show what the other properties / methods of the
OBJECT itself are ?
thanks for your help
