Package and Deployment

[capone67]

Hi Gang

I have an activeX control that I have been developing over the past little while. The control works fine on any system that has VB 6.0 installed on it. However when I go to a system that does not have VB 6 installed on it my control does not come up on the screen.

I have the control marked as safe for scripting. I don't have a digital certificate so I have lowered the security settings on the systems I have done testing on.

When I made the script I did get a message saying that no dependency information could be found for a DLL. I told it to continue anyway. My program includes db stuff accesing an MS access database. I also use the MSFlexGrid control.

Is there a way to do an "on error temp=msgbox(error Number) possibly to figure out what the problem is? Where would I put it?

TIA

Ken

Ken,

It appears you wrote the control in VB? If so you might want to post your question in one of the Tek-Tips VB forums.

You must use Package and Deployment Wizard to make you stuff work fine.

I had a similar problem when packaging my activex. I got the dll's that i needed from both of these links:

http://www.gnutella.wego.com/

http://solo.abac.com/dllarchive/

These sites seem to have just about any dll you could need. the solo site has them packaged in self installing exe's.
