    Hi,

    Will somebody please tell me, what’s the difference between an ActiveX control and an OCX? Thanks

    No difference. OCX is the file extension, which stems from OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) which changed names to ActiveX to COM (Component Object Model)...or something. It's basically the same thing. So, whenever Microsoft says OLE/COM/ActiveX, they mean their object framework system.
