Hi,

I have a workbook that uses the calendar control, mscal.ocx; it works great!
but i would like to distribute to various users some of which are unlikely
to have that control registered or even installed on their system. does
anyone know of a way to automatically / programatically: -
1) install the calendar control if its not present (in the right location)
2) if not registered, register it (all systems will be windows xp)

i would want this to run before opening the workbook. and it would have to
be simple installation (ie, i just say 'open workbook xxx' and it all
installs automatically!

could i do it with vba in another workbook? if so, could someone give me
some pointers as to how i would do it?

Thanks for any help,

Tim
