as you do not specify what activex you are try to create and do not say if you have installed it with your application, very hard to be able to help

i made an application in VB6, and its working fine in xp and also in ME,
but when i copy/paste the apps in different machine with ME,
theres an error

Activex component can't create object

What dependencies does your project use? What is checked in the project references window, what is checked in your toolbox (Ctrl+T)? The activeX's must be registered on whatever Win9x machine you are running it on. You can't just copy and paste the ocx/dll to their system folder and expect it to work. #1 below should solve your problems, #2 below is a manual workaround that may need to be handled for every dependency.

1. Recommend creating a Setup.exe file using VB's Package & Deployment Wizard & having them install via the setup app, or
2. Telling the owners of the other machine to register the ocx/dll with RegSvr32

OLE Automation

Are you doing any Office Automation Work. If you are programming using office Automation, then you should have office installed in the client locations

[westconn1]

when do you get the error? when the program starts or on some specific action
do you have any error handling to help determine where the error occurs
are you using any instances of createobject

you may need to write out to a log file at regular intervals to find exactly where the error occurs so you can locate the missing /unregistered ocx or dll
