I may have been advocating for the wrong "Toolbar". I was refering to the OCX guy:-), my appologies. You can add an ocx tool bar to a container:

oForm.AddObject('cntToolBar','cntToolBarClass')
WITH oform.cntToolBar
.....
ENDWITH &&oform.cntToolBar
oForm.cntToolBar.AddObject('ocxToolBar','ocxToolBarClass','MSComctlLib.Toolbar.2')
WITH oForm.cntToolBar.ocxToolBar
.....
ENDWITH &&oForm.cntToolBar.ocxToolBar
