I do not know of any.... but of course there may well be several available. Way too much stuff comes out of MS for anyone to keep track of it (heck, didn't Gates move out of the CEO spot to have more time to review products again? He wasn't seeing it enough, either! <g>). > More generally, I was mucking around with some of the Microsoft OCXs, > but it got too confusing.

Well, if you have an OCX in mind, I might either know what the deal is for redist, or else I might know who to ask.... we can continue that conversation offline if we have moved off of Unicode for that? > If you or anyone else could suggest guidelines, then I might reconsider > recommending these controls. Most controls and components that ship with dev. products (and which a dev would need to deploy solutions) are on a redist list that is included with the product. This includes SQL Server, VS, VC, VB, Office Developer, etc. There are exceptions (which is why checking that redist list can be so important) but by and large its true.
