The difference is that ActiveX EXEs are usually run on a server to keep things like ODBC access off of client machines, and to make certain code available to many client programs in a central area, which makes for easier upgrading/fixing in an enterprise environment. The ActiveX server is the same code-wise, no matter where you run it.

Running it on the desktop only makes sense if you want the functionality available to many programs also running on the desktop.

Hope this helps....
