I tested the MSFlexGrid and got it to display. I also tried Excel, but could not get any methods/properties(access violation errors). I assume that is because it is not a "real" active X control. Anyway, even if I can't get the Excel to work(my big wish), thanks for this GREAT addition to Win32::GUI. Adding the ability to embed and IE control or DHTML editor is awesome indeed! Joe
