I don't understand your 3rd argument. Why would your control stop you from using other ActiveX controls.

>Also, if I wanted to create an ActiveX Exe that could run on it's own, and yet expose an object structure for use in other applications (not as an insertable object) it can't be a control.

But you can develop a control and use this control:
- in VB to create an ActiveX exe that will expose the control;
- in VFP as any other ActiveX.

My feeling is that we use the same words for different things. :) Do you mean that in VB an "ActiveX control" MUST be visible?

>Everything works fine, except for being able to trap the events.

So, do you bypassed the OLE error you had?
