    loading .ocx from changind path name

    I need to load a .ocx from the folder that the program executable is in. The problem is the folder that the program is located in can change. I want to load the .ocx from the folder so that if you do not have rights to install programs then i could still use .ocx's that are not already in windows.

    Thanks

    A program will use the OCX regardless of where it is installed as long as it is registered. So I don't really understand your question.

    He wants to use an .OCX without registering it.
    Nobody knows what software they want until after you've delivered what they originally asked for.

    Is that true FES Germany? If so why do you want to do that?

    Well, Windows 2000 added something called temporary register of components (or something like that) but you would still need permission to register the component even if it's only during the life time of the process.

    Re: loading .ocx from changind path name

    Yeah, i do want to be able to use the .ocx's withoutout registering them. The reason i am trying to do this is because i want my program to be able to run on guest accounts which don't have rights to install let alone register an ocx. I did find a program, thinstall, that allows me to compile the ocx's directly into the executable but in order to download the tria you must hav a company email which i don't have. Well, if any of this info helps anyone come up with a solution to my problem that would be great. Thanks
