pro_vb thread: Re: ActiveX Document


Message #1 by "Randy Cornish" <rlcornish@c...> on Tue, 9 Apr 2002 20:54:46
I have never met anyone who has actually used ActiveX documents in a live 
application.  Probably your best bet would be to get ahold of a copy of 
Dan Appleman's "Developing COM/ActiveX Components in Visual Basic 6".  He 
has a section on this.
