After testing on yet another machine, I realized that I was not
distributing all of the DLLs required to run my ActiveX control. I
have now used the VB6 Package and Deployment Wizard to make sure that
all of the run-time dependancies for my ActiveX control are included in
the CAB that I have on the web server. The wizard also generates a
bare-bones HTML page that gives an object tag for the control. This
page works on my computer, but just gives me a placeholder on the other
computers that I have tested it on. All I can say is that I am only
becoming more stumped as time goes by.
