Now that I have this OCX, how do I install it so I can see the ActiveX controls on the tools menu and utilize it in my application development. I placed it in windows/system sub-dir (win95) with the rest of the OCX files but I can't see it in VFP in the activex controls section. Can someone give simple instructions on installing an imported OCX so it can be used by VFP.

I just copied to root of c: and still get the same unable to locate file message. Pretty strange.
