ActiveX Controls..

[Snappy2873]

Hello,
First of all, I have an Access 97 application I'm trying to document and I've hit a wall. I have a form that at the click of an "Update" button calls two ActiveX controls that are clearly seen in design view of the form. I'm trying to define functionality of these controls but the properties of each dont say much. The control names are:
ActiveXCtl43
ActiveXCtl42

The important properties in the property window are as follows:

OLE Class - Winsock
Verb - 0
Class - MSWinsock.Winsock.1

The rest of the properties seem meaningless because the define the basics of the control such as:

Visible
Enabled
Height
Width

My whole problem started when I tried to run this form and I got the Error:

"There is no object in this control"

Where do I find extended properties of these ActiveX controls like a recordsource or data source or just a definition of their functionality?
Is there a way to find out what exact type of ActiveX control I'm dealing with?
Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks,
snappy

Finally, I'm not the only one having problems with winsock. My company's been using it for e-mail in one db. Suddenly, Access says, "Object does not support property or method." I can't get Access to recognize winsock anymore, and Access' built-in commands don't do any good. I have OLE Automation and Winsock Control 6.0 checked. Unfortunately, I still don't know anything helpful. I'm hoping someone can help us both out.

I think this is very common. I to experienced this a few months ago when I was experimenting with active x controls. The biggest problem is the lack of documentation. You basically have to work it out yourself, & they are dependant on the individual control you are using... James Goodman
