Keith, One more thought... If you are trying to register OCXs into \Windows\System32 (or System, not sure which) on a Windows 64-bit system (i.e. Win 7 64-bit) be aware that 32-bit applications will not be able to see them due to file system redirection. Because \Windows\System32 is reserved for 64-bit files all requests to read from \Windows\System32 for 32-bit processes gets transparently redirected to \Windows\SysWOW64. If this applies to your situation you can register the OCXs somewhere outside of \Windows or try putting them in \Windows\SysWOW64 and registering them there. Sincerely, Brian Maher
