Jared,

I don't know if this will apply or even help. Basically, it's a SWAG. Some ActiveX controls are self-registering. You can tell by checking the property dialog's version tab and look for OLESelfRegister. If a control is, you may be able to register it by call the control's DllRegisterServer function. The declaration would be:

DECLARE INTEGER DllRegisterServer IN (lcfile)

where lcfile is the fully qualified file name of the control. If it returns 0, the operation succeeded.

If this doesn't work, then I can't be of any further help with this.
