Re: HELP !! ORACLE FORMS 4.5 TAB/FOLDER-VBX CONTROLS

They also don't work with VBX's that have array-type property items. I use a VBX that requires me to pass an array, but I'm stuck now with a VB DDE server program using my VBX's and the Oracle forms app being a DDE client. Not too cool, but it works.
