The exception when hosting Visio doesn't surprise me. As I noted, Visio was very flaky for me too when hosting it within the DSO Framer control. Not sure if its a problem with the Framer control or Visio or some combination thereof. Feel free to post any workarounds/findings here for others who might be interested. :) Thanks, -dw Hey Ram,

'Setup the framer and commandbars options With mFramer .Titlebar = False If isEditor Then 'show Word functionality except for the File menu buttons (handled by System) .Menubar = True .Toolbars = True pnltoolbar.Visible = False .set_EnableFileCommand(DSOFramer.dsoFileCommandType.dsoFileNew, False) .set_EnableFileCommand(DSOFramer.dsoFileCommandType.dsoFileOpen, False) .set_EnableFileCommand(DSOFramer.dsoFileCommandType.dsoFileSave, False) .set_EnableFileCommand(DSOFramer.dsoFileCommandType.dsoFileSaveAs, False) .set_EnableFileCommand(DSOFramer.dsoFileCommandType.dsoFileClose, False) ElseIf User.AccessLevel = SENIOR_ADMINISTRATOR Then 'if user is a senior admin in Foreign Investment and doesn't have the extra profile (template editor) , 'hide the Create Autotext Entry button .Menubar = False .Toolbars = False pnltoolbar.Visible = True btnCreate.Visible = False Else Throw (New Exception("Your access level does not include Template editing")) End If End With Note: pnltoolbar is a custom 'toolbar in that app. Hope this example is useful to you.. Ram: at least you can disable it (with set_EnableFileCommand)..

‘Setup the framer and commandbars options
With mFramer
.Titlebar = False
If isEditor Then
’show Word functionality except for the File menu buttons (handled by System)
.Menubar = True
.Toolbars = True
pnltoolbar.Visible = False
.set_EnableFileCommand(DSOFramer.dsoFileCommandType.dsoFileNew, False)
.set_EnableFileCommand(DSOFramer.dsoFileCommandType.dsoFileOpen, False)
.set_EnableFileCommand(DSOFramer.dsoFileCommandType.dsoFileSave, False)
.set_EnableFileCommand(DSOFramer.dsoFileCommandType.dsoFileSaveAs, False)
.set_EnableFileCommand(DSOFramer.dsoFileCommandType.dsoFileClose, False)
ElseIf User.AccessLevel = SENIOR_ADMINISTRATOR Then
‘if user is a senior admin in Foreign Investment and doesn’t have the extra profile (template editor) ,
‘hide the Create Autotext Entry button
.Menubar = False
.Toolbars = False
pnltoolbar.Visible = True
btnCreate.Visible = False
Else
Throw (New Exception(”Your access level does not include Template editing”))
End If
End With

Hope this example is useful to you..

I honestly don't know. I'm not an Office developer. You'd have to consult the documentation for that. Cheers, -dw Hi Ram,

Looks like they've pulled the DSO Framer Control. :( Looks like they are preparing for the release of Office 2010 and no longer wish to support the Active Document Container model. You will have to contact Microsoft Developer Support directly regarding this decision. If a new hosting solution becomes available, I will try to provide a sample. Bummer Wildertalent!
