>>I have a project that uses the DBI Tech controls. The project was developed on a PC where the controls where installed in \winnnt\system. The project is being moved to a WIN98 PC where the controls are installed and registered in \win98\system. I cannot run or edit the form because of an error locating the activex control. I have drilled through the class library and found that the control is pointing to c:\winnt\system\.ocx. In the OLE2 field of the VCX file.

As it turns out, the base class where the OCX is apart of is corrupt. For some reason, it is not reading the registered version of the OCX, it is looking in the path stored in the objref. I unregistered and deleted the the OCX on the development PC, registered a new version of the OCX and the problem occurs on the development PC. If I copy the old ocx back to the winnt\system directory WITHOUT registering it, everything is fine. If I copy a new version of the control to the winnt\system directory, I get class is not registered.

Bad class definition. I have to rebuild the class.
