Ken and Troy,

Forgive my ignorance on this topic, but just so I understand. Does 
Director and Real Basic 'use' ActiveX tree controls, data grids, etc? If 
so, are they 'embedded' in the app with full access to properties and 
methods and instancing via script control? If so, WOW. Do you know of 
any examples of these in use?

best,

Chipp
