Yes.
You need to make a setup package with the Package and Deployment Wizard that comes with VB or with any other setup program.

You need to create an installation package. I suggest you use the Package & Deployment Wizard that comes with VB.

ok, i went to find out how to use Package & Deployment Wizard after u guys suggested it by using this website -> http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...etupWizard.asp

ok, now i got this package folder. Inside, there are a SUPPORT folder & 3 files (setup.exe, setup.LST and a CAB file). So do i just use these 3 files without tat SUPPORT folder? Also, during the Package & Deployment Wizard, it say my OCX & DLL files r outdated but i continue anyway. Shld i get the latest version? where do i get the latest version? thanxs.
