Hi Scott,
I believe I did. Haven't had a chance, however, to research the problem. One problem does exist with checking the registry. ActiveX controls may be registered, but that doesn't necessarily mean they'll work properly. This may have changed, but there have been a number of instances where the license was incorrect and the control wouldn't work.
