Registering Active X controls

[Phil Palmer]

I have developed a database which i plan to sell to various clients. The
problem i have at the moment is when i copy the database to other computers
i have to manually register certain DLL's (useing regsvr32 etc). I am
planning to purchase the Office XP developers edition to obtain the runtime
program.

Once i have distributed the database with the runtime does the runtime
automatically package and register the relevent DLL's ?

Sorry if this sounds vague
Glad of any assistance.

Close.

Actually, you will create an install package using the developer's edition.
This package will include the runtime, your mdb (or mde, or adp or ade)
file, and any other necessary files (e.g. your dlls).
It will also include a setup.exe file, which your clients will execute to
install all of the above on their machines.
