Thanks, Sergey. I'll give that a try!

>Try this

oDlg = Createobject("GetFileEx")

>DEFINE CLASS GetFileEx AS form

>	Top = 100    && Set Dialog Position

>                LOCAL lnColor

>	ENDPROC 	
>ENDDEFINE

It will also prevent error described in BUG: License Error with ActiveX Control Added at Run-Time mskb #192693.

So I sent it to him. But this OCX doesn't have a REGSVR32 entry point (or whatever it needs), and I don't know how to get it installed on his system... if that's what I should do.
