I'm not really sure exactly who/what puts this ActiveX control on the system, it's probably even part of the OS. Each user must have this control on their machine, and it must be registered in order to make use of it. If it is part of the OS, you wouldn't have to do anything. For ActiveX controls in general, they'd need to be installed and registered. Most install programs can handle the details for you once you identify the file to it.

I assume that I can get this control somewhere on the MSFT site (I could not find it here) and if I get it, can I just plunk it overtop of my old control to use? Likewise, if I were to incorporate this into my VFP on our network, does each user need to have it installed on their PC or can I just dump it into the home directory of this app and the app will use it (or is it somehow compiled into my .exe). Obviously, I have not used any ActiveX controls to date hence my questions...
