How to set Access use 3rd party controls?

[Min]

Hi, I created an Access database on a development machine. It uses some
ActiveX controls and ComponentOne controls and works fine, I think this is
because the development machine installed with .net and VS Studio. However,
it does not work on client machine. Anyone has experience to share? Thanks!

Many commercially available ActiveX controls require a license for each
machine they are run on. Almost all of them require registering with the
system registry, Try this:

Start ... Run, then type:

regsvr32.exe "C:\Full Path to the ActiveX control.ocx"

Access does not particularly care one way or another about .net, at least
for now, but the control might.

Thanks for your reply!
It works for a Windows 2000 client machine but failed on a Windows 98 client
machine.
I registered the .ocx on the win 98 client machine and opened a new access
2000. I add the ocx (it is one of the ComponentOne controls) on a form and
put the license key when asked for that. It seems alright, but it is still
not working. Is it the problem of Windows 98 or the ocx?
Thanks!
