Cant use Microsoft Internet Control

[nostalgiker]

hi guys,

i got a big problem none of you seems to have: my microsoft internet control (v5) doesnt work and neither do i have a winsock-control or something like that.

did everything right:
- msinet.ocx is there & i told VBA to use it
- i can see and select the interntecontrol
... but whenever i try to put it onto the form it says somtehing like "... unregistered elemt.. register.." something with register.

could anyone of you help me

thx anyway,

Alot of ActiveX controls have information stored in the registry saying that you have registered the control (in the way you would register shareware). If that info can't be found it assumes that you haven't paid to use the control.

The Sheridan ActiveX controls do it for me. I've had it a few times and it's a bugger. Tis a bugger to fix too. :( You can try reinstalling, but if remember rightly that doesn't sort it. Try their website.

I think mine got sorted out last time I blatted my machine.

Mmm...yeah...just had a thought...if you're using VBA then you're probibly NOT licenced to use the control. I think the rights to develop with it come with proper VB.

Try fixing it:

Register Winsck.ocx & Inet.ocx - Files included! (http://www.planet-source-code.com/vb/scripts/ShowCode.asp?lngWId=1&txtCodeId=4860)

Not sure if it'll work, but you could try it.
