>>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?

I used the active X OLE object from the toolbar in the form. He does have the mswinsck.ocx file, but I did notice that the modification date is earlier than the versions I have. Normally I would code to check the modification date and if it was less than the one in my new user install directory, I would replace it with the new one, but I am thinking this will be a problem to do with an Active X file because they are registered items. I want the code to be user friendly and adapt, is there any links to sites or anything like that where I can have the code automatically link to download a new version install for the active x component (which would register it as well) when i find the ocx with an old date or not exisiting?
