GOAL:
Does an application need to be recompiled when the ActiveX Controls it uses are upgraded to new versions?
FIX:
The general rule is that a Progress application does not need to be recompiled when the ActiveX Controls it uses have been upgraded to newer versions.
The one exception to this rule is that if the ActiveX Control vendor has given the new version of the ActiveX Control a different GUID (Global Unique Identifier) then you will have to open each source file that uses the ActiveX Control, remove the existing control reference, re-add the new control then recompile the program. This is not a common thing as most ActiveX vendors realize that changing the GUID causes much pain for their customer base (regardless of the programming language that their customers use).
