Tracy, Tried that... no joy. My code is a little misleading as I meant to say: Slight mis-information in the last post in that:
"Unknown OCOLLECTION_X - Undefined The collection is mainly used in the "myRefresh" event of the component (base class is a container) and is initialised to null on the property sheet, subsequently getting populated in the actual <<container>>.Control_Source_Assign method" Should be read as " .... <<container>>.oCollection_Assign method". I use a user defined property Control_Source to bind the collection to the object in a similar way to the native ControlSource property. This is now baffling me completely.
