Hi Vladimir,

I agree with you. I too am not interested in re-inventing the wheels. I think I shall concentrate more on using the ActiveX controls. One thing is sure, it does make the tasks a lot easy. But like Chris said, using ActiveX controls may increase the overhead. Do you agree with that? Do you refrain from using Activex controls as far as possible?

TIA
