    Resolved [RESOLVED] Module to control Q's

    I have an activex control in build. I populate the control with a module, but I cannot directly read values from the controls components to code in the module.
    EG. an option button, true or false.

    How come?

    Pass a reference of the UserControl to your Module Subs and Functions, and refer to the control as type Object.
    Nobody knows what software they want until after you've delivered what they originally asked for.

    Don't solve problems which don't exist.

    Urgghh late binding. Better to create an interface (use a non-createable class) and pass that around. Even better derive from IUnknown using IDL create the typelib, make a reference in VB, and pass that around instead.
