You could try setting RootDir (if it exists in your version) - that sets the
root for relative paths.
You have caused me a problem now - you started me thinking about how to
produce an ActiveX ocx file and I won't be able to stop thinking about it
until I can make one or know why I cannot.
Hopefully I will be successful soon - I know why I was having trouble
yesterday so, in self defence, I will try again today.
It is an interesting problem
