I have just compiled my program and installed it on a different computer, and then when i do something that requires the ActiveX component then i receive a error saying: "The ActiveX component could not be created"....
Any ideas of how to fix this?
1) Did you use the P&D wizard to install this?
2) Can you goto Start>run & enter this line:
Regsvr32 "C:\Path\MyControl.ocx"
Does this fix the problem?
what is P&D wizard ?
The package and deployment wizard which comes with VB...
You'll find it under the start menu in a subfolder beneath where vb appears (Microsoft viual studio I think the folder's called).
This creates an install package which makes sure your app has all the neccessary files it needs when it runs on another machine & it also automatically registers any dll or ocx files which your project might need to have included with it.
ok thanks, but i have got a differnet installation program (Setup Factory 7.0)
i will try the other method right now, to see if anything happens.
The registration from the ActiveX control failed. :(
I am really puzzled i don't know what is wrong :(:(

What ActiveX are you reffering too.
