External OCX

[Dim]

If I, when designing my forms add some external ActiveX control, such as a
CommonDialog Control, and assuming i've
added som non-standard Reference in Visual Basic Edit ( Microsoft Scripting
Library "scrrun.dll")
how then do i proceed with distribution of the database? Are all external
OCX controls being embedded into my db, or must i distribute them along as
well? Or is there a way to create a single file to distribute, without going
through the pain of creating a real installation setup file....

Thx

If it is a simple OCX or DLL, and the file is distributable, you may be able
to simply put the file in their Windows system folder and register it.In
later versions (2002 and 2003) running on an XP machine, putting the file in
the same folder as the database will often be enough.
