MSFlexGrid not working
Hello,
I've written an ASP webpage with an MSFlexGrid on it.
The website run on an IIS5 server (Windows2000)
Both the IIS server and my development workstation have Visual Studio 6 loaded and the webpage runs just fine. However, when I access the page from a machine with Visual Studio on it, I get a page error. The error states 'Object or property not supported: MSFlexGrid1.Redraw
I've remarked out the line and the next FlexGrid statement errors the same way except on a different property. Example: 'Object or property not supported: MSFlexGrid1.FormatString
I'm using client-side VBscript to manipulate the grid. Example:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=vbscript>msflexgr
The OCX appears to be in the Winnt\system32 folder and appears in the registry.
Also if I look in the Internet Setup of Internet Explorer on the client, I click the View Object button and see the control in the objects list. I've set all ActiveX security setting to PROMPT. I initially got the popup to download and install the control based on the CODEBASE line in the object tag. I have tried unregistering/re-registeri

Please post your code.

Very simple.
First, I have a client side vbscript that calls a server side sub
<SCRIPT language=vbscript>
sub window_onload
<%FillCells%>
end sub
</SCRIPT>
this works fine
Then the server code to fill in grid starts like this but barks on very first line
<%
sub FillCells
msflexgrid.FormatString = "Field1 | Field2 | Field3 "
end sub
%>
Nothing fancy really. I can't get past first line of code that references the grid.
I immediately get Property or method not supprted: msflexgrid.FormatString
My next line is msflexgrid.rows = 100
If I remark out the FormatString line, the error moves to next line msflexgrid.rows = 100
I have a feeling this has something to do with the control not registered properly or some vb runtime missing. But can't seem to nail it down. I even created a simple VB app that had the control in it. Loaded on the client. The VB app displayed the grid just fine. Its only when I use the control with ASP in IE that I get error.
Please help.

Difficult to know without the full code.

The problem is definetly not the ASP code but will attach anyway. The code works fine on 4 other machines that have either Visual Basic or Visual Studio loaded. It has something to do with the OCX file not registering or being registerd incorrectly. Maybe has something to do with missing VB runtimes? I have the same exact problem with the DTPicker control on a different page which confirms my thought that is has to do with the control. Here is the block of code that is generating the error. The first Response.Write line in the FillCells sub is the one generating the error "Property or Method not supported: MSFlexGrid1.Rows
I've never used the Flexgrid or any ActiveX control on an ASP page in the past and can't find any documentation on the exact procedure to deploy the Flexgrid control. The only thing I was able to find was to add the codebase statement to the object tag that point to MS website for download and install.
Thnks for any help you can provide.
