when you insert an active x control on a webpage the user must have the control on their machine. if you want the active x control to install on their machine you must do something like this.
&ltOBJECT ID="yourControlName"
CLASSID="CLSID:8AF5B5AA-9F91-11D4-80E4-0050044A2086"
CODEBASE="yourOcxFileName.CAB#version=1,0,0,0">
&lt/OBJECT>
be aware that most browsers are not configured to automatically download these.
Issues with ActiveX controls:
Safe
Safe for Scripting
Signed
DO NOT work on anything but IE

ActiveX controls cannot be run on the server, only ActiveX dlls. I believe asp.net is working on server-side controls but i don't know anything about them.

thanx/good luck,
