Bonj,
I have a similar licensing problem with using the inet control from Excel
VBA code. The code ran fine on my development machine but not on other users.
If I installed VB to a non-working machine the code ran fine. As near as I
can tell certain probucts like VB and Office Development install the ocx
license. The documentation is very sparse. You might try installing VB on
your server and see what happens.
I'd also like to know how to deploy this ocx so that it works from Excel
without any other developer products installed on the user's machine?
