If thats all there is to it, then I've got no problem. InstallShield takes care of it for me if I care to send it all in a CD. That is really what is going to happen as soon as I get feedback on release 1.0! I know there will be bugs so when 1.01 goes out I can put in the updated ActiveX. Might as well start experimenting with some of my Beta testers... :-)
