ActiveX Documents

I am trying to create my first ActiveX Document application. It will be distributed via Intranet. I am new at this and am struggling with some of the concepts.

I have a sample application up and running. My application has vbd, cab, htm, and inf files created. I have successfully linked this application into my Web site. I can successfully run this application on my machine and several others throughout the department from a Web browser (my machine has the web server).

My problem is this, one machine in particular, running Internet Explorer (3), doesn't seem to know what a .vbd file is for. When accessing my application, IE3 brings up a box asking the user about what to do with files of this type (vbd). I don't have a complete understanding as to what process is responsible creating these extension definitions. I assumed that these issues were resolved during the "Web application download process" but I am apparentlym wrong.

Does anyone have any suggestions/info?

Thanks,

Robert

Thanks for the response.

Microsoft has recently dropped ActiveX in favor of DNA.

I have experienced too many problems just trying to get a simple sample application working.

I think that I can safely say that I will stick with Java for all my Internet programming needs!
