>Hi All,

>I've built an activex control in VB that is used in a VFP application. It was originally distributed using the setup wizard and since then the activex control has had to be rewritten to allow additional functionality. I do not want to go through the whole installation process again and would rather simply ship the control. Does anyone know which files are necessary? I have a choice of file.exp, file.lib and file.ocx. I assume file.ocx is needed, do I need the other two?

Not knowing the control, the probability is yes.

Yes, whenever you change a COM Server or ActiveX control, reregistration is about the least difficult thing that has to be done as a minimal step; the CLSID probably changed, and the ProgID may have as well, and lots of other wonderful pieces of information. If you don't instance it in eactly the same way, the forms that use it are likely to have changes (eg if they instance from the CLSID and the CLSID changed, then you need to replace the forms, and if they're embeeded in your .EXE...)

If as mentioned, you added new functionality, the odds are that the forms changed IAC.
