as i said..

in VBA you should get the Properties option in the context popup.

if you click that if sets the focus to the properties window and selects
the control. (and opens the prop window it necessary)

then in the properties window ..
select the line with (custom)
double click THAT.

FAIK that's how it's always worked in VBA...
(still think your confused with VB6)

No that's just the problem, when I right click I should have the
'Custom' option but I only have the generic 'Properties' option. All
very odd!

hmm...

you're not confusing VB6 with VBA?

in VB6 you go straight to the properties bag.
in VBA you need to click (Custom) in the Properties pane.

Hi,

Yes, the library Microsoft Windows Common Controls 6.0 is
referenced. To make sure, I've also re-registered the library in
\\System32.
