Downloading and Registering an ActiveX Control at run-time

[Dugantrain]

Because of the size and complexity of my database, I have been asked to right a user manual in Word. All well and good, but now I have been asked to include this file within Access. After snooping around, I found a control which was designed to perform exactly this task:

This control will display a Rich Text File within a VBA form. The file looks great, but my problem is that in order for this form to display, the .ocx file must be downloaded and registered on the computer that is opening this form. Since I don't yet know who all will be using this file (it is on a shared drive), is there a way to register this file at run-time?
If Access already makes a reference to a similar control that performs the same task, then I'd be willing to use this in its place.

*Actually, I was asked to "write" a manual. I'm in the process of "righting" it now.

Have a word with your network administrator.

He should be able to create a batch file to copy the ocx on (all) users PCs in the log-in script.
