    People who need Comctl32.ocx or other system files

    How do you usually deal with this? People are downloading my program, but many can't run it because they're missing this file.

    you need to make a setup package, either using VBs package and deployment wizard or innosetup (free download), these will include all neccessary files and resouces for your program
    i do my best to test code works before i post it, but sometimes am unable to do so for some reason, and usually say so if this is the case.
    Note code snippets posted are just that and do not include error handling that is required in real world applications, but avoid On Error Resume Next

    dim all variables as required as often i have done so elsewhere in my code but only posted the relevant part

    come back and mark your original post as resolved if your problem is fixed

    If I include my EXE and everything with Inno, does it automatically add the necessary OCX files and resources?
    Thanks

    that is the idea of it, there is also a separate forum for packaging

    No, Inno Setup does not add everything you need. I can't tell you what does for it seems to be against forum rules... You will have to do trial and error to figure that out...
