fm20.dll redistributing

[Vincenzo]

Hi,
my application needs of fm20.dll to run. It seems that this dll is necessary
for applications containing some components of Visual C++, such as Microsoft
Forms 2.0 CommandButton (for details give a look at this link:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/224305).
And in fact, In my application i use Microsoft Forms 2.0 CommandButton
control.

Unfortunately, fm20.dll is not distributible so i cannot include it in the
..msi package (i use installshield to make .msi package).

Some people told me that ACCESS RUNTIME include fm20.dll and is available as
a free download.

However, my application is not developed to be run with Access.
So it is very strange that i need to include the ACCESS RUNTIME only for one
dll.

Please, do you know a better way to include fm20.dll in my application (for
distribution use) ?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks very much in advance.

Best Regards

Vincenzo.

I think that is only true for an older version of access.

Don't use it. It's not meant for use but VC++ and is
unsuported.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Use a different control.
