Checking for existance of an activex control

I've got an app that has a reealplayer activex control in it.  If the user doesnt have realplayer, it errors out horribly.  How can I gracefully check for the control in the registry and exit if its not there?

Perfect code that worked first try!

Thanks!

You are very welcome (and don't forget to close this question out ;-)

Regards,
Russell
Oops! you'd think after dozens of questions I'd remember.  I think the working first try code had me so excited I forgot :)   (I tend to get a lot of code with missing pieces)

Thanks again
Again, very welcome. I completely understand too, which is why I try to "get it all there" the first time around...  less aggravation for all involved. <g>

Happy coding,
Russell
