ole error code 0x80040154 class not registered 1

[teering]

i am using the activex calendar/datetime picker ole control

i have an application in vp7 that runs fine on most machines
however the windows 2000 and xp machines generate the above
error message

i know how to register the ocx files, however my question is
this -- the vfp7 manual says that you can use the command
set oleobject off and this will not generate the message and
the calendar control will still work

before i use the set oleobject off, does anyone know if
this is correct

Can I assume you tried to register the OCX on the target machine?

Teresa,

No. This is a blind alley.

SET OLEOBJECT OFF prevents VFP looking for an ActiveX control when you execute CREATEOBJECT(). The goal is to improve performance. If you know that the class you want to instantiate is not an ActiveX control, there is no point in VFP wasting time looking for it. If you know that the class is an ActiveX, you definitely don't want to set Oleobject off, or it will never be instantiated.

You will need to look for some other reason that the control is not properly registered.

Then I would suggest you first try to register the OCX (To tell VFP or any other application "where the OCX can be found on the user's computer), using Regsvr32 "c:\myapp\myocx.ocx" (Full path required) in a DOS window or in the Start->Run box.
