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 built a class, or I should say modified a class I downloaded from UT that
gives the button some dynamic behaviors. I used the container, timer, and a picture, it works okay but is very sluggish. I heard from another UT member that there were OCX controls that would have this behavior that worked pretty good so I was just trying them out. I just downloaded another OCX from the same site and it gives me the same error. Where are you putting the OCX on your machine?
BTW - I do have VFP5.0a if that matters.
