Now the next logical question is: how can I simply, and hopefully easily, replace all the FM20 controls with the more appropriate Microsoft Windows Common Controls 6.0 (SP6)? Is there a way to simply "find and replace" the text reference in the form/vbp files with something else (not sure what that would be!)? Thoughts?
Before to remove/replace any control in form, be sure that the control is really used.

in Components window:
1) chek the Seleted items only checkbox
2) try to uncheck the Component
--- A) If the component isn't used, then no problem (the component will unchecked)
--- B) If the component is used, then you need to search what FORM use it.

B) make a search fro file which contains the component , i.e. for FM20.DLL search for:

Object = "{0D452EE1-E08F-101A-852E-02608C4D0BB4}#2.0#0"; "FM20.DLL"

To replace with standard control:
1) delete e recreate the control in Form (easy way)
or
2) open FRM file using Notepad and replace all the entries (complicated way)
