I would like to use the msoutl32.ocx control. After having copied to
my windows\system and added it as one of my component (Project ,
Component) I got the error message " Licence information of this
component not found. You do not have the appropriate license to use
this funtionality in the design environment".  I am using Win95, VB5
Enterprise, with Active X Control Pad installed.  Any help
appreciated. 8)

I managed to solved this problem. Hope to share with some of you
currently looking for a solution to it.  Read the text as folllows,
it's self explainatory... good luck

\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
