>>>I want to use the ActiveX ProgressBar class. When I click on it in the toolbar and then click on my form to add it I get the following error:
>>>
>>>OLE error code: 0x80040112: Appropriate licence for this class not found.

>>There is a known but with some MS produscts that removes the licenses for some activeX contols upon install or uninstall. I got this problem from installing MSOffice 97 after VFP. All the uninstalls and re-install in the world won't help things, you have to re-register the class, and to do this you need the registry license codes from MS. I found no other way around it, but it has been awhile since I dealt with this, there might be another fix now.

Nope. I had to manually enter the lisence codes into the registry. Check the KB article here.
