Hi Yuri,

Thanks, this is helpful for checking prior to calling the form. Unfortunately I need to check and by-pass the default error message between the Form.Load and the time the Control.init tries to fire. I.e. The form was already called.

>>I need to capture for the possibility that an ActiveX control was not loaded on a workstation (i.e. they did not do a necessary update), but I can't seem to trap for the OLE error returned when the form is opening. I've tried capturing in the form.load, form.error, control.init, control.error, etc. but nothing seems to work. All I need to do is just give them a friendlier message than the "OLE error...Class not registered". What am I missing?
