You have to also supply the OCX file and register it by using the shell command "regsvr32 ocxname.ocx" before any application that uses it can be run. Same with DLLs.

[soothsayer]

well but thats not possible with every program... is this any software that creates a setup file for VB that registers the ocx file?

[penagate]

Yeah, try the Package & Deployment Wizard that comes with VB. Or for a more customisable setup app try Inno Setup

soothsayer,

You can try ********** combined with Inno Setup. This will create and compile a setup progrm for you with very little work.
