I have an active-X document that I can successfully run from within the VB development environment but it fails to run after I package it as an internet package (CAB). After building the CAB file I have an .HTML file, a .VBD file and the .CAB file in a directory. If I load the HTML file in IE4 and click on the link, itstead of seeing my application IE4 decides I have asked to download the .VBD file and wants to know whether to Open it or Save it.

What is going on and how can I fix it?

I admittedly don't often use ActiveX documents, but I've always navigated directly to the .vbd.
In the address bar of your IE browser you should be able to reference the .vbd file as if it were a file with a .htm extension.

Hi there,
I come into the same trouble as yours. I packaged the internet CAb and Copy all associated files onto another computer with the Personal Web Page. When I run it I selected Open it, But it didnot display anything?
How about your problem? Could you tell me how to fix it please?(if possible).

A Freind.
have a nice day.
