OK, I think I'm getting closer ... I'm getting a different error.
I pasted your code and tried it. It worked perfectly. Now, that gives me the DHTML Editing control, rather than the TableInfo control, which is part of dhtmled.ocx, that I want.
By looking at your code, I realized I was using the ProgID incorrectly. I was adding "DHTMLEDLib" to the beginning of the hierarchy. So, I just used the exact ProgID that I found in the registry. Like this:
ThisForm.AddObject('myctrl', 'olecontrol', 'DEInsertTableParam.DEInsertTableParam.1')
Now the error is that the "class is not registered". What do I do about that?
