TeeChart 5 in MS Excel

[ben]

Hi all,

We developed a simple MS Excel Workbook that has a form with a TeeChart ocx control on it.

It runs fine on the development machine but we can't seem to get it to work on other clients who don't have the develpment software on their machine.

We've tried registering only the ocx on the target machine(s) with success but when we try using the Excel Workbook, we get a trial or unlicensed or eval version popup and the chart won't work.

What file(s) or steps are needed to get the free runtime distribution ocx to work without any hiccups?

thanks in advance,
ben

Hi ben,

make sure that in the Client machines not exists another vresion installed. In you find anyone uninstall it, or unregister it using :
regsvr32 "c:\MyPath\TeeChart7.ocx" /u

About the "runtime distribution" you can find the info and the necessary steps to do in the TeeChart Pro Tutorials - 18 .- TeeChart runtime installation requeriments.

a) This is the only version on the client machine
b) It has been registered successfully on the client machine
c) This is version 5

Question: Does your ocx control consider MS Excel to be a 'development' environment?

It must be registered, otherwise, I would not get the popup about the unregistered eval copy warning when the user brings up the form with the oxc teechart control.

I'm not sure where to go from here...

thanks again in advance,

Yes

Yes, it must be registered. Have you tried unregistering the TeeChart5.ocx manually and then register it again. To unregister, go to Start -> Run... and type:
regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\TeeChart Pro v5 ActiveX Control\TeeChart5.ocx" /u

To register the control again type:
regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\TeeChart Pro v5 ActiveX Control\TeeChart5.ocx"
