I had exactly the same problem recently when client changed to win7. Putting the ocx in the same dir as VFP file didn't work and I had to register the ocx (and I had a few to register too) as admin on each of the client machines running the app. App lived on the server, but I had to register the ocx on each PC to have it work properly. And yeah, need to find out first if they are 32 or 64 bit OS so you know where to park the ocx files.
A pain in the bum agreed - but for all the other benefits of Win7, small price to pay I thought.
