Hi Tracy

Thanks for your reply. That's the first thing I tried ... the OCX and MFC70.DLL are in the same (download) folder and that's where I ran REGSVR32 on both files. Might it help if I copied them to a Windows folder e.g. System32 or SYSWOW64 ?

Paul

BTW I tried your popup suggestion as a source for a dropdown list but it was painfully slow to move through the list ... it was worth a try though and I appreciate your help

Place it in the same directory as the OCX file.

Tracy

P.S. It could be in the path environment variable. This is not recommended as older versions have vulnerabilities, or could be changed to be a vulnerability.

Hi all

I am trying to install a couple of Bela Bodec's ActiveX controls but the OCXs fail to load - "Unable to load OCX!"

I know that MFC70.DLL is required and I have a copy which came with the controls but I am not sure what to do with it:

Which place(s) should I copy it to (I am running Win 10) and will I need to register it with REGSVR32? I have already tried to run REGSVR32 against MFC70.DLL in its present location but that also fails ("The module MFC70.DLL failed to load").

Many thanks

Hi Jeff

Thanks for your reply and the heads up ... it is not a must for me and I am looking at alternatives. Life is too short (especially at my age) to be mucking around with multiple versions of the same(?) DLL 😊

I can't say for sure but you may have an incompatible version of MFC70.DLL. Back when I was working with Gkktools trying to get them working, I got them to work easily on my laptop but I had a hard time getting them working on my desktop. I ended up downloading several different copies of the Visual C++ Runtime before I finally got everything to play well together. all the runtimes I downloaded contained a MFC70.DLL but they were not the same file. This may not be the same problem you are having but it is possible that it is a similar issue. -Jeff
