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.
