Ähh no! No Form at all. It's against the law <g>
And the funny thing is that it works with the (COM) EXE
just perfectly well.

What stubberns me most is that You do not find any info
about that.

If You issue a do form WhatSoEver.SCX, You do immediately
get a message "Sorry Sir! no graphical interface at this time".

Or they could write someting in the docs like "You can do great
COM objects with almost anything execpt UI and Timers if You
create an inproc-Server (i.e dll)"

Would have been absolutely enough! But the first time I encountered
that it must have taken me hours to realize that the timer simply
does not fire - including the time it took me to look for MY
programming error until I was (quite) sure there was none.
