|    Standalone EXE in VB6    |
|    20 Dec 06 11:32:18    |
      From: wog-NotThisBit-george@amd-p.com              I need to create an EXE that is truly "standalone". By that, I mean the       executable file is all that's required for the application to run. My app       has a button that fires up a common control (to select a file), and this       seems to be my stumbling block. When I try to run my program on another       machine, it complains that comdlg32.ocx is not registered properly.              Short of creating my own form and writing my own code to browse for a file,       can VB6 create a fully self-contained EXE that uses a common control and can       simply be run without the need for the program to be installed? It was       suggested to me that VB6 was what I needed (was using VB5 prior to now), so       I bought an old copy of VB6 Enterprise especially for the occasion. Have I       been misled?              --       George       "You can just hang outside in the sun all day tossing a ball around, or you       can sit at your computer and do something that matters." - Eric Cartman - 4       October 2006              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
