James--- Could you be a little more specific about the types of messages which trigger problems in ActiveX exe's, and what precisely they are. (Best yet if you could point me to a MSDN knowledgebase article explaining the problem). THeir possition appears to be: "VB has no problems here; its a problem with all those other application which don't do what ActiveX expects."

This is a known issue with Microsoft's ActiveX that the older vnchooks.dll, amongst others, could trigger. The VNC 4 series hooks are designed not to trigger this bug in Microsoft's ActiveX.
