# Assign connections to an object

The Connections tab of the Property Panel shows all the object’s connections that can have a tag or expression.

If more than one object is selected on the display, nothing shows on the Connections tab.

If a third-party ActiveX control is selected, the Connections tab shows all the ActiveX control's properties that can have a tag or expression assigned.

Tip: | To get help for the selected control in the Property Panel, click the ? button.

## To assign connections to an object

1. On the Connections tab, click a connection's row to select it.
2. In the Tag/Expression column, specify a tag name, or specify an expression if the connection accepts expressions and you want to assign one.

   Tip: | To select a tag from the tag database, click the Browser button (...) in the Tags column. To open the Expression editor, click the Browser button (...) in the Exprn column.

3. Press Enter or click another cell in the grid to save the tag or expression assignment.
