On your own computer, register a control using RegSvr32 [this is probably already done]. To get the info about the control, use RegEdit to edit the registry. Look in the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT hive. For the monthview control, the key you are looking for is MSComCtl2.MonthView.2. I think what you may be looking for is MSCAL.Calender

What I do is store this information in a VFP table, then use a Registry class to see if these keys and values exist in the registry. If not I register them. Just remember to use the /s switch to do a silent registry of the control. You can also type RegSvr32 with no parameters or switches to get a list of switches.
