I'am using a 3rd party ActiveX control in my application. When I use the application on another computer I get the error that this control is not registered...which I understand why...so my question is...how do I bring along the needed control "for the ride"?

Don't think you can.
But there are some that might be able to be downloaded at runtime (toss another Active X object in and see yer options.
Some may be able to downloaded from the internet, then you would toss that thing's installer in your app's install dir, and make the setup for your app run that installer as well...? (know what I mean?)

If you have an application that is using a 3rd party ActiveX and you have purchased it (eg you have distributable rights), then you can use a product like Install Creator to Register it on the relevant computer you are putting your application on. This can also be done manually using regsvr (i think), but obviously if you are distributing an application you are probably using an installer.
So use IC to register the control, and then your app will work <img src="/center/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

most of Install Maker functionality seems to be built into MMF2, as I was pleased to find <img src="/center/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
