How to Get 36 ActiveX Controls from Microsoft for free.

FYI

Did you know? Many of the VB6 controls come from other companies.

Microsoft stripped them down and distributed them.

Like the MSflexgrid control actually came from http://www.videosoft.com VSflexgrid.

Hmm VSflexgrid... MSflexgrid... This download contains the latest version of the VSflexgrid Ver 8(completely backwards compatible with MSFlexgrid) and many more.
