Unregistering an ActiveX Server

You can unregister any ActiveX server from the Windows operating system registry from within JADE. You can unregister any ActiveX server, regardless of whether you have imported it into JADE or not.

To unregister an ActiveX server

1. Select the Unregister Server command from the ActiveX submenu of the Components menu when the External Components Browser is the current window. The common file Open dialog is then displayed, to enable you to locate the of the ActiveX type library object. (The file suffix can be .dll, .exe, or .ocx, for example.)

2. When you have located the required file, click the OK button to unregister the ActiveX type library from your Windows operating system registry.

The ActiveX server that you unregistered is removed only from the Windows operating system registry of your workstation. As the JADE database itself is unchanged, you can use this feature to remove a type library from your registry when you want the imported ActiveX object retained in the JADE database; for example, so that you can ship the database to a third‑party site at which the ActiveX type library is registered.

For details about removing an ActiveX type library from your JADE database, see "Removing an ActiveX Type Library", earlier in this chapter.
