Hello Tracy,

I rebuilt the entire project but that did not change the controls on the

forms to the new version.

I opened the form.scx file and found the ctGrid OLE control, but not sure

what field should be changed ?

It looks like the OLE field contains the actual object, and OLE2 contains

the path to the OCX file.

I checked that the OCX in the DBI\Components folder is the new version, but

the form still shows the old version.

I am guessing that I need to change the OLE field ?

Thanks,

Kent

Mike,

Since you've subclassed the controls. I believe a complete rebuild of the

project will fix your issue.

If not, there is a way to update the form by using the scx and replacing the

memo fields that are relevant to the record. I found SCATTER and GATHER

worked the best for the couple I've done in the past. This doesn't lose any

settings or code.
