Can you post the search string I should use? I did google which is why I created the subject I did. So that others that were searching for this type of answer could find it. I don't know how others have described this scenario. I get a lot of pages on property sheets for programming controls. I know that this type of setup was used by Symantec ACT but didn't find references to that either.
