ActiveX Document In IE

[kahfui]

Hi all, I'm having some problems with the ActiveX Document. Although I able to put it inside the IE, it seems that only my computer able to run it. Different computers that reach the website couldn't view it and Windows prompted the Download Box to download the ActiveX Document (.vbd).The right way it suppose to display the (.vbd) on the IE.

I'm using the code generated by the Package & Deplotment, but i think there'll be more to include. All i wish is that others computer able to view the (.vbd) same as mine. So any possible code / solution.

Thanks & Regards;

I'm just curious, why are you using ActiveX Docs? They are kind of the bastard child of VB Internet development. I tinkered with them briefly a few years ago and decided there are better ways to do it since you can put ActiveX controls right on web pages.

The difficulty that I ran into is the controls you have on the ActiveX Documents are on your PC because you have VB installed but they are not on the other PCs. And they aren't pushing through to them.

Also, make sure you are pointing to the HTML page that is created that will launch the app into the IE browser and not the VBD files directly.

hi

to start vb docs are what ms is starting to push and are in vb 7 as web forms
compiled dll that are loaded in to a browser wich you already know but to the guy that is slaging them off we use axdocs because they dont need to be downloaded unlees the client has not got the dll or needs an update this is great 4 application web deployment.

the package you create needs to be deployed and upacked to the web server however there aremany problems to this and ive also had problems with it if u can get it working let me know but dont give it up as its is the best way to go or wait as i am untill vb7 when it will be bug free and working in the form of vb webforms

Why would you not just create the application as a web page?

Basically it accomplishes the same thing and is alot more versatile and supported. By using ASP, you can create the entire application including ActiveX controls.
