So you dont get the dialog box popping up

Code:

---

Shell("regsvr32 /s mydll.dll")

---

You could also use the DllRegisterServer and DllUnregisterServer api functions to register and unregister the dlls/ocxs.

Code:

---

Option Explicit

'MyDll.Dll is the dll/ocx that you want to register

Private Declare Function DllRegisterServer Lib "MyDll.Dll" () As Long

Private Declare Function DllUnregisterServer Lib "MyDll.Dll" () As Long

Const ERROR_SUCCESS = &H0


Private Sub Command1_Click()

    'Register
    If DllRegisterServer = ERROR_SUCCESS Then
          MsgBox "Registration Successful"
    Else
          MsgBox "Registration Unsuccessful"
    End If

End Sub


Private Sub Command2_Click()

    'UnRegister
    If DllUnregisterServer = ERROR_SUCCESS Then
          MsgBox "UnRegistration Successful"
    Else
          MsgBox "UnRegistration Unsuccessful"
    End If

End Sub
