I have an activex control that I have embedded in a web page. When a user who has the activex control installed on their pc accesses the page the activex control is displayed.

If they don't have the activex control installed on their pc the page doesn't load properly.

Is there a way to place the control on the web server so the user doesn't need to install the control on their pc? If not I guess the only way to allow users to view the page is to let them download the control on their pc, right?

Thanks
ML

You'll have to create an ActiveX EXE file out of your control, now in a DLL. Register the EXE on the server.

Then in VB on the client side use

CreateObject("MyObject","MyServerNode")

to get the object to work.
