My VB lecturer (gee...that was a joke...was a 2 week part of my HNC and I knew loads more than her!) couldn't get her head around that.

She asked me how to stick an activex control on a web page (I think she's just seen the term written down like 10 mins before! ). When I told her and also told her why it was seldom done she just replied "Well what's the point in that then? Why bother with ActiveX controls. You can't do anything with them."

T tried to explain to her exactly what you've just said, kb244, but she didn't understand.
