Re: Include an ocx in a custom template?

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

You could probably create step by step instructions for your 50 users to download and install mscomct2.ocx. See: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/297381

However, if your IT department has things so locked down that users do not have the necessary permissions to do that, it would seem to me that your management needs to be resetting the priorities for the IT department. I would guess that it would take a competent IT person no more than 15 minutes to create the necessary script to roll the ocx file out to all of your users the next time that they log on to the network.

I built a template 4 years ago that serves as a letter generation tool
using the monthview control. In addition to creating and logging the
letter, the template also adds the appointment to the user's Outlook
calendar. The template has been used flawlessly by 50 users on a daily
basis since then and has been a great time saver. At the time, our
system at the office was using Win2000 as the operating system.

3 weeks ago, we upgraded to Windows XP and the default build does not
include mscomct2.ocx which contains the monthview control. Imagine if
you please the various noises that arose when the users found the
template crashing....

The folks in IT tell me they will be happy to add the ocx file to the
default build but with current priorities, they tell me we are looking
at several months before that will happen. Imagine if you please the
looks on the faces of my users....

I'm hoping there is a way I can amend the code of my current template
to somehow reference the ocx if I place it on a network drive.

Any suggestions would be gratefully received.

Gary
