Flexgrid Control

Hi
I have written an application which in part uses the flex grid control
(msflxgrd.ocx), and it appears that our PC image contains this file meaning
that anyone can open and run my application.  As there is the possibility
that this will be used by users who do not have our company PC image, I
wanted to check to see how it would run, but it appears that the flexgrid
control is not part of office but part of the the office developer install.  
I have installed Office 2003 Professional on a stand-alone PC but the file is
not present, am I correct in assuming that this means that the application
will fail to load properly?  I did a search for the file on the web and
several sites list it for download, but I know that doing this will fail as
the file will come back as not registered correctly.  Is there any way to get
a copy of this file that I can include with my application and if necessary
install as part of an installer?
Any help and/or advice on how to tackle this gratefully received.
Regards
Martin

Hi Martin

"Contains the file" isn't halfway there. The file must be properly
registered. This is done with regsvr32 or by a Setup program. But it must
also be properly licensed. This is complicated for Office applications;
Office applications are not compiled so the user must have a license to run
the component in "design time". There should be a paper on this in the
Developer version of Office, explaining what and how you can redistribute.

Without the control and a proper license for it, your application will
definitely fail to load.

HTH. Best wishes Harald

Many thanks - as I suspected.  OK, will have a hunt around for the paper to
see whether it is possible to redistribute the require file as part of an
installer.
Thanks again
Martin
