Good Evening Ken: Thanks for the reply! I want to be able to send a VCX when needed and not have it part of the actual program. I have a form that loads a vcx from a folder. Any number of vcx's can be loaded (one at at time) based on the required info. One of the vcx's calls an existing form to position several tables. That positioning form is called from other forms in the system so I really don't want to make any changes to it. And I don't want to keep adding vcx's to the project and exclude them from the exe. The other thing I noticed is that my error handler does not fire from the vcx. The error handler is a form and when there is an issue in the vcx (any of them) I also get that the error handler form is not found. This is what tipped off that there was an issue with calling a form from a vcx. Is there a way to include a form in the vcx by adding it as an object? Thanks for any idea. Best regards, Jack
