ActiveX controls are not "just" dynamically loadable code which is what I meant. You could probably just use the ActiveX Control in RB, although I'll have to admit that I'm not sure how. Soft declares don't get rid of dependencies although using them and the other RB functions designed to access libraries at run time can help you avoid crashes from a dependent library not being present. That could also be solved with an installer though. _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe or switch delivery mode: <http://www.realsoftware.com/support/listmanager/> Search the archives: <http://support.realsoftware.com/listarchives/lists.html>
