I have an ActiveX control in a website. It workes fine on my computer but obviousaly not on someone's computer without the control. How would I have it automatically download the control if the user doesnt already have it?
Thanks.

The browser(IE) will always prompt the user to install that activex control if he/she does not have it.
But the user will have to have low security or the security settings in which "Activex installation" is allowed
Hmmm...for some reason I dont think it is. Would it normally show the security alert?Quote:

I got one more question I tried making an ActiveX DLL and using the Package and Deployment Wizard to make an internet package. The file it creates (VBD) will show up on MY computer but when anyone else tries it IE attempts to download it. Any ideas why?
Thanks.
Yes, the user needs to first download and install the file if he is running it first. That is why IE is giving you a prompt to dowload it
VBD files arent supposed to require a download....Quote:

But with an AcitveX control, how would you have it bring up the security alert like it does when you download "offical" controls?
