place a client application (multi-tier) on an ActiveX form

I have been trying to put a client application on an ActiveX form. I have
no problem access it from IE on my computer, where I am doing the
programming and where the webserver sits. But I can not access it from any
other computers. It is clear to me that the ocx and two additional files are
already download and registered, but in the webbrowser I only get a empty
box with a little icon at the top left corner. I reckon it has something to
do with the multi-tier nature of the application, because I tested ActiveX
with a simple application and it works fine. Does anyone has some ideas?

thanks.

did you put the dbclient.dll file on your client computer?

IE's default security (Medium) will not run unsigned ActiveX controls. Try
lowering tweaking the security settings so that its least restrictive for
ActiveX control download and scripting/execution. Or you can look at marking
your control safe and digitally signing it.

have fun
