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.

Installed with no error. What does it do ? Seem like a button. If so why need it ? (Curious no help no builder. Does it worth to hack ?) If not something so special stick with VFP own controls.
