Hi, I have been using Activelock for a few years since version 1.5. I have come across a problem with 1.84 and so I have now just discovered = and downloaded version 2. One of the problems I found with version 1.84 was that it would easily = get mismatched with a project (Active X component can't create object = error). This situation would come about by me simply upgrading to a new = pc. Copying over all my files and recompiling a project. I would need to = recompile the Activelock OCX again which would seem to change is = compatibility. I would then need to issue a new install when upgrading = users to the latest version of my app to get back compatibility. This = could stuff up anybody else's application that happened to use = Activelock 1.84 on the same pc. I assume that with version 2 now that it is a dll with binary = compatibility set that I won't get this problem. That is unless I was to = reset it's compatibility to project and recompile it. If I then issued = it as part of my app would it not stuff up any other application using = the original version? If this is so I then also run the risk of someone else doing the same = thing (accidentally maybe). Can Activelock2 be recompiled with a different name (a name of my = choosing) to help secure against this? Could the code for Activelock2 be added into my application so that I = don't even have to worry about compatibility with DLL's? If so how would = I do it? Would this also improve security at the same time? Hoping you can help. P.S. I secure my apps by using Activelock to generate user codes and = Armadillo for the time limit feature.
