>Does anyone here know of a way to programically determine if a Activex control is registered on a users machine using VFP5?

If you know the ProgID or VersionIndependentProgID (the name associated with the control) you can check for the existance of the registry key HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ProgID of the Control. You could also instantiating it and trap the error.
