Licence for Grid32.ocx not found.

[Vinay Desai, Ph.D.]

The following text is from a readme file on the VB5.0 (Enterprise Edition
CD). Just follow the instructions and you should be able to use the grid
control again.

\Tools\Controls

This directory contains all of the ActiveX Controls that shipped with
Visual
Basic 4.0 Professional and Enterprise Editions, which are no longer
shipping
with Visual Basic 5.0.

AniBtn32.ocx
Gauge32.ocx
Graph32.ocx
Gsw32.EXE
Gswdll32.DLL
Grid32.ocx
KeySta32.ocx
MSOutl32.ocx
Spin32.ocx
Threed32.ocx

The \Tools\Controls\BiDi directory contains a Bi-directional version of
Grid32.Ocx.

If you have Visual Basic 4.0 Professional or Enterprise Editions installed
on
your machine, you should already have these ActiveX controls available to
you in
Visual Basic 5.0.

Graph32.ocx has been updated to work properly in Visual Basic 5.0 and it
requires two additional support files: gsw32.exe and gswdll32.dll. You
must
place the three files together in the \Windows\System directory or the
control
will not function properly.

If you do not have these controls and wish to use these in Visual Basic
5.0, you
can install them by:

1. Copy all of the files in this directory to your \WINDOWS\SYSTEM
directory.

2. Register the controls by either Browsing to them in Visual Basic itself,
or
manually register them using RegSvr32.Exe. RegSvr32.EXE can be found in
the
\Tools\RegistrationUtilities directory. The command line is:

regsvr32.exe grid32.ocx

3. Register the design time licenses for the controls. To do this, merge
the
vbctrls.reg file found in this directory into your registry. You can merge
this
file into your registry using RegEdit.Exe (Win95 or WinNT4) or RegEd32.Exe
(WinNT3.51):

regedit vbctrls.reg
