In the Components Dialog box in VB, there are a list of activex controls and other dlls that can be added to the toolbox. What is the Browse button used for in the components dialog box? The reason I ask is because ActiveX controls have to be registered to work. When they are registered, they are automatically placed in the components dialog without browsing for them. Can anyone give me an example of when you would use the browse button to add a file to the components list?

sometimes ocx's etc are not registered and by browsing to them and selecting them you register them.
I have used a few like this that I got from Activex.com etc
