Paul: I am not familiar with ContourComponents but have used lots of ActiveX components in VFP apps so here is my 2 cents... 1. If the control has a license string instead of coding it into the property enter it in the init method of the form e.g. thisform.container.ocxcontrol.license = "the_license_string" 2. I have found that some ocx's do not like the threading of VFP; especially those that work great in VB, C++, etc. I had one activex that would hang every time is was called. I found that triggering it through a timer event that the ocx control now would work as expected. 3. Make sure the license string that is entered is correct. I had one not work because it was case sensitive and I made a finger fumble. 4. If there is a .dll associated with the .ocx make sure they are in the same folder. 5. I have used some ocx's from MS that did not register with the setup function that was in VFP6. So I had to register the ocx manually. I don't know the reason for this... 6. Unregister the ocx then sweep the registry looking for any trace of it and remove it maually then re-register. I wrote for fun and app using VFP to play MP3 files using the media player's activex component. When Media Player 9 came out (and later 10) the app stopped working with an error message pointing to media player 8. So every time there us an update to MP 10 I must re-register the ocx for MP 8 which does not effect MP 10. I don't know if any of this is applicable to your app but these are some issues I have had *along the way* with ActiveX in VFP apps. Regards,
