>>I have a container on which I have a crystal reports Active-X control. My idea was to use this container as a member of my application object so that I can reference reports easily throughout my app (something like goapp.oReport.ReportName = 'blah'). However, when I try to instanciate my container ( x=CreateObject('cntReport') )with the active-x control on it I get the error "object class is invalid for this container." I get this same error for any olecontainer control I drop on my container. Has anyone tried something like this and gotten any results? How can I add an active-x control to my container to be instanciated?

This is certainly one I wouldn't have thought of. It didn't work, however. I'm starting to think that the problem lies somewhere with VFP and Active-X controls in general. For example, I created a new class based on the OLE Container class, selected the crystal reports activex for the class and saved it as oletest1. When I try to rename the class, to oletest2 for example, I get that same "object class is invalid for this container" error. I can't even rename my class? There must be something I'm missing here.

So far I've found the crystal reports documentation to be poor. What documentation there is available is full of errors and inconsistancies.
