>>>Simple question. I would have posted this in the kiddies section, but I couldn't find one. >>> >>>I recently downloaded an ActiveX control from the web that sounded interesting. 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. >>> >>>Thanks, and I'll humbly wait for replies. >>> >>>John. >>John, >>Open tools\options select controls tab, select activex then add and point your new.ocx. >>Cetin > >Hi Cetin, > >Here's what I did. >> downloaded .OCX file >> put it in windows\system with the other OCX files >> went to tool\options and selected ActiveX and then add >> selected my new OCX file and then OK > >At this point I am getting an error stating that the file doesn't exist. >Does anything come to mind why this is happening? > You need to register it in Win95. Go to your windows directory and type: regsvr32 ocxpath_ocxname There is also a regwiz.exe in the windows directory that leads you through the process.
