>Hey Guys

>I have used several Active X controls but this is the first time if have wanted to display and print the results. Therefore, I have to use the OleBound control. I click on the Icon and then click on my form and a box with an X shows up just like the OleControl. However, unlike the OleControl, the Insert Object box does not come up. I have tried several was to insert the object (the active x) into the oleBound Control without success.

Hi Larry,

You cannot add ActiveX controls to the the OleBound control. It will dynamicaly load and display the contents of whatever OLE object stored in a General field of a table.
