Embedded MSHFlexGrid control

[jake]

Hey guys, got a stumper for you. Hopefully some of you have tried this and
got an answer.

For starters, here is a link to an article from Microsoft on how to embed
the Microsoft Heirarchial Flex Grid into a HTML page.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...ui05152001.asp

Now that we're on the same level, heres the problem. Embedding the MSHFlexGrid
works fine. I can programatically access all the methods and props etc. UNTIL
i go onto a non-Visual Studio pc. Then, if the control isnt on the pc the
codebase param kicks in and the user gets a confirmation dialog. Good. BUT,
then after the control is downloaded it absolutely does nothing. I've created
a simple HTML file with just this object in it and tested it multiple times
with multiple variations across our entire intranet. Digging on the internet
came up with one article about a guy having the same problem, poseted onto
devX but with no solutions so i wont bother linking.

I'm basically at a point where i'm going to have to make a complete functionality
rewrite of our intranet application should this fail. My hide is truely on
the line on this guys, so please PLEASE post any help or guides you can give
me.

-Thanks in advance.

If you're following the instructions in the article for the codebase and
using:
http://activex.microsoft.com/controls/vb6/mshflxgd.cab
you should note that it doesn't include the other dependant files mentioned
in the article. My guess would be that either you've got the wrong
ComCat.dll or you're missing MSStdFmt.dll. Is that what you're looking for?
