how to register an OCX?
I have tried with:
Execshell '"$WINDIR\OCX\vbalGrid6.ocx" /regserver'
Exec '"$WINDIR\OCX\vbalGrid6.ocx" /regserver'
Exec '"$WINDIR\OCX\vbalGrid6.ocx" /regsvr32.exe'

what I'm doing wrong?

Did you try RegDLL?

OCXes couldn`t be executed directly, because of they are just kind of DLLs.
So if you use Exec function, type 'regsvr32.exe "$WINDIR\OCX\vbalGrid6.ocx"'.

Regsvr32 is not always installed, use RegDLL.

thanks!
I tried with RegDLL and it's working now (I thought RegDll was only for dll's!!!).
