ActiveX form not displaying

Hi
I'm created a simple ActiveX form (with no controls only a form) using the
ActiveX form wizard in BCB5. When I deploy it and launch IE only a white
area with a rectangle is displayed? Why isn't this control displayed? There
is an ActiveX form example in BCB5 that works fine.

I've got a webserver running and my HTTP path is fine because the OCX files
(which is statically linked) was properly installed on my system via IE.

Can anyone help?

Thanks
Tim

What HTML are you using to display the web page?

Re:ActiveX form not displaying

Hi Mark
I've discovered the problem..the form was licensed which prevents it from
working in a browser...only in an IDE.

But one problem though is that if I compile a new version of the control, IE
does not reinstall the new OCX file but continues using the old one even
though the version nrs are different??
How can I ensure that IE install the latest version of the OCX?

Thanks
Tim

Re:ActiveX form not displaying

Tim,

My controls always update as long as I remember two things:

1. update the version resource in the control's project
2. update the version part of the CODEBASE line in the HTML code used to
load the object.
