Active X component 1

[Aladdin420]

I wanted to push my VBScripts to the next level and wanted to learn about Active X components. I have an idea now. A friend told me that I would have to register, not sure what that meant. Went to the Active-x.com, but I'm still lost. Does anyone know where to register, and how would only registering will give me access to the Active X Components?
Thanks folks!

See:
HOWTO: Register an ActiveX Control (.ocx) Manually

paying attention to the "More Information" section.

FYI - there is an ActiveX forum on Tek-Tips: forum194 Jon Hawkins

I understand, I have it working now.

The path was "c:\winnt\system32\Regsvr32.exe"

Now to register for example "msmapi32.ocx", because I wanted to use the mapi feature, all i did was
in the dos prompt run:

C:\winnt\system32\>regsvr32 msmapi32.ocx

Then a msg box pops up and says "DllRegisterServer in msmapi32.ocx succeeded."

However, then I try running a script:

Dim MAPI, oShell
Set oShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell&quot

Set MAPI = CreateObject("MAPI.MAPISession&quot

The code craps out on the 'Set MAPI = CreateObject("MAPI.MAPISession&quot'

So what am I doing wrong? :-(

Thanks all,
