I am developing activex documents with Text to Speech.

As it stands now, I can make an activex doc with the "TextToSpeech" object.

The problem is that when I want to destribute my form, the Package and
Deployment Wizard in VB 6 wants to include Vtext.dll - someone with sapi
will already have this dll. I dont want to force a dll they alreadly have.
So I tried the CreateObject Method:

Dim msVoice

Set msVoice = CreateObject("TextToSpeech,TextToSpeech.1")

I am setting this on the UserDocument()Initialize event.

The CreateObject works, but I cant call its methods at the field level in
the activex document.

What am I doing wrong????? Additionally, should I even try this way? Maybe I
should use the component (Vtext.dll), so what if the user get the dll again.

Thank you.

perhaps you could beter use an installer like installshield, and check for
version and data info (eg only install if newer version, ...)?
