>Thanks Nadya - I looked for a MsComCtl2.ocx (which is used in the addobject statement in the LOAD event thinking it might be in the windows system directory but I could not find it... Is it this that I would need to distribute to get it work at runtime? What is it?

This problem was discussed here couple of times. In order to be able to distribute these controls, you have to drop the control on the form, and save this form as a class. This way you would be able to distribute it without problems.
