Hi Bob,

Maybe if you name the ActiveX(s) someone will have some information you can use.

I do know that ActiveX controls using containers (I believe) have always been problematic with VFP.

good luck

>I'm struggling with a project where I need to use some special ActiveX controls in VFP, it appears I can get no support from the provider of the ActiveX control for VFP, and my attempts at guessing how to use the controls are not working too fast. I can get some results but the actual fomrat of parameters to be passed is difficult to figure out.
