Chaps,
A while a go the xq-comregisterex.zip was posted on the reflector to
register activex's. This was working fine until I installed the new service
pack for xp, now I get this error whenever I try to un register activex's

LoadLibrary("blah blah")
failed-The specified module could not be found. (regSvr32).

Has anyone else come across this problem and if so how did you overcome
this,

Many thanks in advance

Hello all,
I am calling a function in VeePro using Visual Basic. I am using
MScomm as a active x file in VEEPro but when I run my function from VB, the
MScomm does not initialise (the box is there but nothing in it). The
function works fine if I run it in VeePro. Do I need to declare MScomm
somewhere else??

Thanks in advance

Dean

Oi! I gotta look into this.

Oi! Basically this means that regsvr32 called LoadLibrary and the specified
module (i.e. COM server) was not in the path or anywhere in any of the
standard directories.

This is a bad idea. Don't use third-party products that throw a wrench in
the OS. Just use regsvr32 directly. It always succeeds because it's in the
path and you always use it from within the directory that contains the COM
server to be registered or unregistered.

Register any COM server with

regsvr32 <name>

To unregister use the /u switch:

regsvr32 /u <name>

This tool isn't all that bad. It just adds the commands "Register" and
"Unregister" to your (right-click) context-menu for OCX, DLL, and EXE files.
Sounds like something got messed up in the syntax. I would suggest following
the instructions in the README file to remove the tool, then re-install it.

For those interested, tke 17KB download can be found here...
