If you get the registration error about a.ocx , then this means the grid control didn't register correctly. What OS are you running and what tool is this. Try to register is manually going to start/run/cmd, set the correct path to the resources folder then type in regsvr32 a.ocx

if it worked, you should get a message indicating so.

There are other ocx's to register as well, but first give this a go.


I also made this test connection program. If it works then the problem is/was with the a.ocx. Give this a go and report back
