Thanks Gustav
I will try to register the existing ocx and see if that solves the 
problem  first. If not and as you are saying it shouldn't cause a 
problem on her machine (that is what bothered me, goofing around with 
someone elses settings, also they have a very possessive/territorial IT 
group who would love nothing better than to clobber a contractor for 
screwing something up), I will follow your instructions and rename the 
exisiting ocx and copy in my ocx.

Thanks again.
