Michael,

Did you ever find a way around this ?

I need to set some properties this way also:

.oTX.TableCellAttribute( .tableID, .tableRow, .tableColumn, txTableCellHorizontalExt ) = .sSpnCellWidth.VALUE

TIA
Greg

>Could anyone advise a general approach ( if exists ) when some VB code using ActiveX control needs to be ported to VFP. Apart from accessing collections I mean symbolic constants as well which VB sees such as "CenterAlignment" ( requires either browsing help or tracing VB code to find value in VFP ) , "HXMLTREEITEM" or because VFP is typeless I am asking too much.
