Custom Control Problem

[The Hobo]

In my application, I have a control in it that I made. When someone uses the application, it says it requires "control.ocx"

I don't find out why it's asking for it. It isn't references anywhere and the control.ctl is included within my project.

Any ideas?

Yeah ive had this problem loads oftimes, basically its because VB isnt particularly good with User Controls, i usually compile the control to an ocx by starting a new activex control and adding my control, then re-reference it in my project. Its annoying it works fne on your comuter but as soon as you give it to another person it doesnt work. The package a development wizard / Setup Wizard might make it work, dunno never tried, but its a possibility.

Groovydaz.

I just realized what I said doesn't really describe my problem.

I have a user control (a .ctl) file in my application, and I use it in my program (rather than compiling to an ocx). However, when I send the program to someone else, it says it requires control.ocx. It shouldn't say this because the control is included within my program in an uncompiled form.

I don't really know how to describe this problem very well.
