Agree; OO40 is excellent.
How did you get hold of 2.1? I've called Oracle support here in the UK and they say it has not been released yet. We've only managed to get hold of 2.07 which is minus the data control, and minus the (promised) 'copy to clipboard' method. This last is of particular interest to us because we are using OLE automation to populate Excel spreadsheets with query results - the queries are very fast but populating Excel a row at a time is unacceptably slow when there are more than a few dozen rows returned.
(Sorry, I don't know enough to help you on the event sequence question).
