Is anyone familiar with this tutorial, I am new to making ActiveX controls, and althought this tutorial is helpful, I am not able to get the projects to work.
Yes I am, thought it was really good. Post your problem.
It's the best tutorial out there by far !!!
UIf you get any questions or problems, then post them - that's what the forums are for :)
I too have a problem......
I had a look at ActiveX Control Tutorial - Part 1, The Power of Controls.
I got to the part where I need to:
Start Visual Basic
Create a New 'ActiveX Control' project
I started vb from Excel: with F11, and than......nothing!
How do you create a New 'ActiveX Control' project?
:confused:
u will have to have vb installed. u cannot create it from Excel.
or... there is a freeby download made by MS which is an IDE to let you create 'em separatly. It's called the ActiveX Control Pad.
It's well hidden & takes ages to fijnd on the net - but search through my previous posts for this as I've given the url out a couple of times in these forumns before ;)
Can you peeeese give it again!
:)
Pretty please!

found it. try looking here ...
Thanx, I've downloaded it but now......

fm20.dll was unable to register in the system registry
I've tried downloading it twice, but it does not seem to work.
Find that file & copy it to your C: drive.
From start > run menu, type :
REGSVR32 "C:\fm20.dll"
See if this'll make it work. If not, grab this excellent little prog :

and delete the registry entry before trying the above again.
Hi,
I downloaded the prog, installed it and tried again.....

C:\fmdll was loaded, but the DllRegistryServer entry point was not found. ........... Corrupt version may be in memory.
Any ideas?
Go buy VB or get it off one of the many file swapping sites...
I don't know any swapping sites so I am buying it... soon.Quote:

Now I have another problem tough: I was going to get the Visual Basic 6.0 but what about the new .NET?
Also, if I go for 6.0, should I get the Professional edition or dig deeper & buy the Enterprise one?
The Enterprise edition is way more expensive - is it worth the money?
:confused:
All suggestions on what to do appreciated.
