I found that out. I just didn't know it was a licensing issue as the crappy error message says something about insufficient memory. So I did drop it onto a form a few days ago and all is well.

I guess we should all learn from MS ActiveX developers on how to do proper error messages. I think I should start saying that to my users. When an error occurs they'll get a random message:
"Insufficient memory for this operation"
"Problem found between chair and keyboard"
"Program failure: improperly placed widget"
"Program failure: not enough money sent to the developer. Send some more."
