Ok....for a challenge, I tried to use bass in a program I made and compile it as an OCX with VB so I could view it personally from random locations such as my college. The weird thing is that apparently just by switching to OCX compilation mode, VB loses track of something. I don't know if it doesn't know where to find bass.dll, isn't allowed to access it, or what...but I do know it refuses to play any files, while all my other program's features (such as video playing and volume-panning adjustment via MCI dll calls as well as database searching and MSINET ftp calls) work flawlessly.
Any ideas how to make Bass run under a program in the form of an OCX? :-/
