Creating Active X control from a form

[allyeric]

not sure if I am posting this in the right place ...<br><br>I have created an application in VB 6, and now the company wants to put it on the intranet.&nbsp;&nbsp;I understand that I need to make the forms into Active X controls to be able to do this.&nbsp;&nbsp;I have never done this before.&nbsp;&nbsp;If anyone can please point me in the right direction, or perhaps can even list a website that might help, it would be greatly appreciated.<br><br>Thanks in advance<br><br>allyeric

thanks Vince, that part I got now, but how can I use this control now?&nbsp;&nbsp;How can I get it onto the webpage?&nbsp;&nbsp;I've been told to use the Object tag - but I am not sure how to do this.

As far as I am aware when you complie the project after using the Add-In it creates copies of all of your forms in 'vbd' format. This type of file will execute within IE5 <br><br>if you create a html page in Visual Interdev and put in the following script it should load your pages <br><br>Sub window_onload<br>'Point this to the URL of your first Form(splash etc)<br>window.navigate &quot;<A HREF="

http://firstdoc.vbd&quot"

TARGET="_new">

http://firstdoc.vbd&quot</A>;<br><br>End

Sub<br><br>This will act like any other ActiveX in that it will prompt the user to either download or run from location for each ActiveX Document(I.E each form)<br><br>Hope tis solves the problem <br><br>Vince <br><br>

thanks Vince - but I don't want the user to download it, just run it from the web page - is this possible?
