Is there such thing as an ActiveX Maker, or an ActiveX Editor, if so could someone post me a link? :| I have not been able to find anything on Google, so anything would be a big help - Thanks!

I guess you could reverse it... that's always fun.

Good. You went to google first.

As you may (or may not) be aware, an OCX is an executable file, so you can't just pop it open in VS and work away at. To modify it, you could use a hex editor if you wanted to, or decompile/rewrite it, or whatever.

What are you trying to do:

*  Create a new OCX of your own?
*  Learn the interfaces available on an existing OCX?
*  Modify the behavior of someone's OCX?

*  Create a new OCX of your own?                                -- Use Visual Basic 6 in project type "ActiveX Control"
*  Learn the interfaces available on an existing OCX?      -- Eh?
*  Modify the behavior of someone's OCX?                    -- To change simple server names or text strings, use a hex editor. Anything else, good luck.
