where to put dll?

where do i put my activeX dll so I can add it to my Excel controls toolbox?

Thanks

If you mean in the VBA Editor (for macros and such) then if you right click on the toolbox thing and choose 'additional controls' then you should see all available controls in that list.

i have downloaded a timer activeX control and compiled it.

when i click on the 'additional controls' though it doesn't appear in the list. I need to know which directory to put the dll in so it appears in this list.

Thanks
Nick

Are you looking on the same machine as the one you compiled on? If not you'll need to register the control first.

It doesn't look in a specific directory it searchs through the registry.

how do i go about registering it then

Use the Run dialog off of the Windows Start menu and type:
regsvr32 "the path to the control file"
