Why is ActiveX invisible in Design mode

[jeff]

When embedding certain ActiveX controls in Excel Spreadsheet ( not in a
form ) the control is invisible in design mode. It works fine and
shows up when I toggle to Run mode but can't be found in Design mode
except by moving the mouse around very slowly and waiting for cursor to
change when over the border of the control.

Anyone have any ideas what might be the problem,
or more importantly what might be solution - how to make
the control show up ?

Jeff,
Sounds like either one of two things to me.

1. Update your Video driver; I had a similar issue with Nvidia's Unified
Driver Architecture
2. Update your office version at MS website.

Just my 2cents

Hth,
Oli
