sreenee,

Some months ago I wrote a tip of the month that I call 'Get Fully Qualified
File Name using TypeLib Information'. Link to
http://www.buygold.net/tips.html then look for the January 2000 tip of the
month. A sample program is provided which uses the OCX name to retrieve the
file/path and version information from a VBP. You should be able to use this
code to help solve you problem.

Cheers,
