ActiveX Document
I have a ActiveX Document project written on a client platform to access remote components reside on a server.
After i made a .exe file of the project, three files were created (one .exe & two .vbd files. Two .vbd files because i 've got two form in that project)
The problem is, how do i distribute the client's files so that the all client are able to access the server components
through internet explorer? Also, does the client need to install VB in order to invoke the server components?
The reason this question is post because i need to have a ActiveX Document project for client to access server components. Internet explorer will open the .vbd file and display the client's form.
thanx

volking, you means the .cab file is generated on the server project or the client project?

It is generated on the client project but stored on the server for retrieval by the browser which activates your ActiveX Document. As my first posting mentioned, you have a long learning curve ahead of you. I'd suggest you start with the following Microsoft KnowledgeBase articles.

No, your client does not need VB installed, but the client may need TCP/IP and ODBC installed if you're using any databases. Also, If you're doing any OLE to apps like Word, Excel, or Mail/Exchange, then the OLE target applications must be installed locally on the client's machine too.
By the way - after you finally get ActiveX Documents running, they're really a "slick" approach and work great! Very powerful.
Good luck.
