>I'm fairly new to VB, and I've written an OCX in VB6 that is used on VFP 7 forms, and will be distributed to many users for installation. I used the VB 6 Deployment and Setup Wizard to test-install the OCX on a single machine, then installed the VFP app, and it works fine. It appears to install VB runtimes and support files as needed.

Don,
You can include the Visual Basic Virtual Machine merge module in your install package. You can inlcude the OCX in your list of files.

The only thing that leaves is registering the OCX. You can do this programmatically from your application using the DllRegsiterServer function in the OCX. If you do a search here, you can find the syntax on how to do this in VFP. You'll need to know where the OCX was installed so I recommend installing it in the same directory as your VFP app.

HTH.
