I added an ActiveX to a function in VIP and now the function won't gen. I am getting an error in a logic that disables a set of fields, unrelated to the ActiveX. The error message says: 786 - UNSUPPORTED PROPERTY FOR ACTIVEX CONTROL. If I cut the ActiveX from the function, it then gens ok. We are running 5.5r3.4.5 with VIP 5.5920 (008). Any help would be appreciated.

Try placing the ActiveX control as the last object in the cycle. Don't really know why this works, but it solved the problem we had. We have reported this issue as a bug in version 5.5. Hopefully in 6.2 it has been fixed.

Is the ActiveX control being defined in the Dynamics or Statics. I would strongly advise that ActiveX controls be defined in Statics only (like buttons and icons (with the exception of paging screens/list boxes))

The ActiveX is actually the last item in a different cycle from the one I am getting the error in. It has been suggested that I make it static. I'll give that a try. Thanks.

Thanks for the suggestion to make it static. That seems to work.
