Sytze, Registration of OCX files is, in my opinion, a bit of black magic. None of my advice, following, is based on scientific knowledge or computer science....just experience with about 5 different versions of the ct controls from DBI. Note that I don't think this is peculiar to DBI controls....just OCX files in general.
For example, you can't move the ctDate.ocx file to a new location (folder) without un-registering and re-registering it. And you can't un-register the file if it has already been removed (or moved from) the location it was in when you registered it. What really makes it confusing is that the regsvr32 command will almost always report success. I've found that some times the registration gets so messed up that searching for, and deleting, all of the registry entries is the only fix. After you clean all references to the OCX from the registry, re-register the file once and see if your app is happy. If you do have multiple versions of the OCX file on your system, you can register each release version, and use them all, as long as you register them in different folders. I would do all of the above, including the manual registry edit, while logged in with a supervisor account. Hope this helps.
