I did not report that because you don't have to do that - all you have to do is right click...sample...run ! I said that the sample did not work - I said nothing about trying to use the sample on my own form. > As a software developer you > should really understand the need for determining the exact steps to > reproduce. > > I did get this error and was able to reproduce the problem you are suggesting > is catastrophically > broken. <g> > > <snipped> > Sure Paul, as a developer you should definitely expect every piece of > software and source code that > ships to be 100% bug free.

Different strokes for different folks. I tend to use them both ways - as is, if they are suitable - and if not entirely suitable then, as you say, as a starting point for developing my own class.
