Just as a quick note. the FM20*.dll is not freely redistributable with our applications. The only way to do this correctly is to first (download and) install the ActiveX Control Pad and then the application. the FM20 dll cannot be included as part of the VB's setup app.

Or at least this is the way it used to be years ago. I don't know if this has changed. More info:

Note the last paragraph before the "References" section. What this means is that MS might change the way that these controls work in future releases of the FM20 DLL which might break your code. Of course since ths is from years ago, perhaps at this time this is no longer applicable. Regards,SgarV.
