I almost suggested that, but will it nescisarily work? I thought the OCX file is like a VCX file with multiple classes. That means two different versions of an OCX file might have the same version of a component within the OCX. So if I'm right (no clue really) you would need a large library of Component version to OCX version cheat sheets.

Unless the version of the component is automatically assumed to be the same as the OCX by MS Standards (I know its an oxymoron)?
