Dynamically Register / Unregister ActiveX components.

[Quros]

Hi,

Does anyone know how on erath I can dynamically register / unregister activeX components from within a piece of VB code, given only the file name.

Those guys at microsoft rekon the way to do it is make some function declarations much like API calls, which call the DllRegisterServer and DllUnRegisterServer functions. This is fine, but not dynamic as I can not dynamically modify the file names in the function declarations..... or can I?

If anyone has a solution, it would be much appreciated.

Quros.

execute the command line
regsvr32 pathtodllOrOcx to register and
regsvr32 /u pathtodllOrOcx to unregister.
I don't know which function in VB executes shell command. John Fill

I'm a C++ progrgammer. But I believe what in VB should be some functions like ShellExecute("command line here&quot John Fill
