I once read that this possible... Instead of downloading a Java Applet each time, you can ask the client to dowload it and install it locally once. Then in yuor web page you point to the local location instead of an Internet URL.
You could apply the same technique to using OCX controls? This will obviously speed up the whole process. If you need them to upgrade, you can probably do a check from inside your OCX and connect to a remote URL to check and display an alert that newer version needs to be used. HTH, Nick p.s.
