btw Stephen - this particular ocx was developed in Delphi 6 so you might have a better idea what the 1,0,30,0 stand for. ;)
1 and 30 are probably Major and Minor versions but not sure what the other params are.... cheers ----- Original Message ----- From: "Scott" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "ActiveServerPages" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, August 13, 2002 8:58 PM Subject: Re: activeserverpages digest: August 12, 2002 : I wasn't saying anything against PDF - I love PDF! doing some : magic with it at the moment - although an 8Mb download is edging : up there towards unfriendly I think. : : I'm a bit rusty on OCX client page controls but from memory : : - when you declare the ocx within the html the "1,0,30,0" defines : the latest version of the OCX required by the page.
