Now, it becomes difficult for me, because I don't use this ActiveX. I can just assume that NOTHING means 'kill this object' in VB-sense. VFP equivalent would be Object.Release and/or Container.Removeobject and/or Release Object.Renderer. Try, maybe something will work. BTW, I thought that NOTHING is applied not to property, but directly to VB-object
