yep, you're right steve, but i thought he was running the exe
on the same machine that he developed on. and if so, the ocx
must have been registered or it wouldn't have been in the list
of controls so he could include it on the activex toolbar so he
could drag and drop it on his form. unless he meant something
else by "dragged and dropped it on the form".

if Ka Ho To is running it on the same machine as development
and it is not running, i would:

1) delete it from the form
2) remove it from the activex toolbar
3) unregister it
4) reboot
5) re-register it
6) select it from the list of controls (onto activex toolbar)
7) add it back to the form, etc
8) recompile and re-run

how's the weather down there in FL ? getting to feel like fall here.
