Quoted Troberg, platform independant ActiveX is not realistically possible. I'm well aware of that. It would be a huge plus, as VB without ActiveX libraries is a pretty empty box, but I also realize that good does not equal possible. To be quite honest, I don't know how it could be done. The closestway I can think of would be some kind of dynarec, ie recompiling it at run time. The recompiling is fairly straightforward, but chances are that the ActiveX library does a lot of platform dependent s...

If you need to correct something every tenth line, or even every hundredth line, it's usually too much work and...
