Hector,

It may be not a solution you're looking for, but I were you, I'd forget ActiveX and use Carlos Alloatti ProgressBar control http://www.ctl32.com.ar/ctl32_progressbar.asp. This way you're not dependent on the external ActiveX.

>Far and long ago I wanted to add a "Progressbar Control" to my projects and I got it. Then when I had to install in a not having VFP PC came the problem.
>
>I decided to distribute the OCX file (I thought comct232 or so) with the installation wizard and the problem was solved. I went on having troubles because I had to rename two OCX with differents versions of the same file and I was distributing 3 OCX because I didn't know where the control really is.

>A few weeks ago I bought a program than didn't work on my PC. I called the programmer and he said the same I use to say...

>"This program is working six years ago and we never had a problem..."

>Forget about the lie. We know what is about.

>I made the mistake of re installing W XP SP2 and then had to call Microsoft because I couldn't open the IExplorer. Microsoft gave me a kick in the troussers cause don't give support to SP2 any more...

>Someway I could survive.

>One of my old clients claimed because one of the forms didn't work... The form than uses "Progressbarcontrol"
>
>I tried in development and didn't work either... Horror!!!
>
>After searching inside OCX and DLL files and can't solve the problema I gave up... I changed "Progressbar" for "Microsoft Progressbar", a made the setup file, I sent ti to my customer and worked.
>
>I was happy.

>But you know happiness doesn't long for ever.
>
>I went to install in a new client and the form failed searching for one of my old renamed files...
>
>I saved a long trip because I carried with me an old installation of another client with my renamed file.
>
>I tried to know the control where is from because the properties don't say nothin about it.
>
>I noted, when generated a instalation, that the OCX files - I haven't added manually among the installations files - was included...
>
>Is there any "Distributable files" item that searchs the OCX files the final exe requires? I'm talking about "Installshield" now.
>
>I don't want to include all the OCX files in my computer to be sure I won't have troubles.
>
>Thank you and excuse me the long explanation.
