David,

I never realized this existed. Thanks. I assume, however, that the server must be self-registering in order for this to work. Are all OCXs and OLE servers self-registering by default?

One more question. In the last issue of the MSDN News' Ask Dr. GUI column, there was a question regarding registering ActiveX controls. The problem was that REGSVR32 doesn't work on something like MSCOMM32.OCX because it doesn't extract the runtime license. Does this do that?
