>I am trying to use the Winsock Active X object and it worked fine on my computers, but one of our managers computers' displayed an error message that the OLE object is not registered or something to that effect. Is he missing a certain .dll or .ocx needed for this? Why would this active X object only work on certain computers?

How are you implementing the Winsock ActiveX control? Did you drop it on a form and distribute it that way? Or did you distribute code with a ox = createobject('mswinsock.winsock') in it?

The first way should work if the control is present and is registered. The second way won't work. See MSKB#Q192693 for an explanantion.
