Hi,

I have a point where some computers will have the Bloomberg data ActiveX control, and some wont. How do I trap the error:

D:\vdf14.1Apps\BLP\Programs\blp_test.exe
Unable to instantiate COM object. ActiveX component may not be properly installed or registered. Error code: 0x80040154

Error: 4398

so that I just set a property and disable the buttons on the form that use this?

Thanks in Advance,

Michael.
