Problem with activex control in report

Hi,

I am trying to integrate a custom control into a report. I can set the
property of the control fine (Value1) but when I try to retrieve it, it
returns a blank value. Please let me know if there something I am
missing when setting the value.

==============================
Dim a As String
Dim MyActiveXControl As SigCapture
Set MyActiveXControl = Me![ActiveXCtl86].Object
a = foo
MyActiveXControl.Value1 = a
MsgBox MyActiveXControl.Value1, vbInformation, "From control"

===============================
