    ActiveX Object Version Detection?

    <object ID="CustomUI" CLASSID="CLSID:7B3F3E1C-2E1F-46C9-9F31-82E8F03F7014" CODEBASE="GAAFBUDGV3900.CAB#version=3,9,0,0"

    Lets assume I have above object in my html... if the version changes from 3,9,0,0 to 4,1,0,1... I need to be able to detect that the users computer has the wrong version and force them to wait till the newer version completely downloads.

    Any ideas? I can handle forcing them to load the new one... but I can't find anywhere that shows how to detect the version of their object. I need to do it w/o requiring them to allow all sorts of permissions to internet users.

    I could wait till they get into the object and have it compare its own current version to the version # stored in a db or something...

    I'd love it if this could be done from the .asp page they use to load and go into the object, though.

    Thanks in advance!

    I've been having problems with codebase. I can get mine to download but not register.

    Everything I've read, I think it is supposed to look at the version number and if it's greater, it should replace it.
