Visio 2003 ActiveX Control - Deployment - COSTS

[Jeff Bennett]

We are looking at using the drawing control

but deployment costs look very expensive
- not all of our customers will want to
install Visio. What costs should we be
assuming for shipping to about 1000
customers in a years time?

No way around it that I know of
that is if you must use Visio drawing control.

How about an alternative ?

For a drawing / diagramming control that
does not require royalties take a look
at MetaDraw at www.Bennet-Tec.com.

The only costs for MetaDraw are for the programmer(s) working
on the project. There are NO end-user licensing fees, no royalties,
no distribution costs when you build a compiled
( .EXE) application or a web page which uses MetaDraw.

Any questions about MetaDraw?
Just visit our web site and drop
us a note.
