You don't add the file, you add the ProgID or CLSID of the ActiveX control. For example, you don't specify the name of the file, like:

=lo.AddObject("commhandler","mscomm32.OCX")

to add the MSCOMM low-level serial control; you use the ProgID of the ActiveX control instead:

=lo.AddObject("commhandler","MSCOMMLib.MSComm")

The ProgID is the name of the class, in the same way that "textbox" is the name of the VFP native textbox class.
