>I have an executable that uses a third party Active-X control to communicate with data acquistion modules. The executable builds itself without issue, and when runs inside the VFP shell functions perfectly. However, when the same executable on the same machine is run on its own, the Active-X control does not work, although all other features of the executable run normally.

Probably the location of the activex file (.ocx or .dll) - try putting it in the same location as .exe and running the regsvr32.exe on it from there....???
