    Take a look at the three part VB World tutorial by Karl Moore.

    It's very good.

    Documentation is like sex; when it's good, it's very, very good, and when it's bad, it's better than nothing.

    The idea behind ActiveX is to allow you to create controls and components which could be reused throughout any project written in any language.

    Class Modules are built for re-usability -the idea of having a class which you could add-into any project you work on is taken to the next stage with ActiveX as you could create a dll etc file which could be called from vb, c++ - any language you're working on!

    There's several fantastic tutorials (as mentioned above) here:
