Trouble embedding ActiveX object in HTML using object tag

Hi,

I am trying to embed an ActiveX control that handles barcode scanner
input in a HTML page. It works fine on the computer that I developed
the control on since VB automatically registers ActiveX controls when
it builds them. However, when I try to open the page on another
computer, instead of the control, I get a standard IE placeholder.
Here is the code that I am using:

<object
name="barcodeTest"
classid="clsid:C9575896-B228-4B1C-A854-6B0DA7F9BFD9"
codebase="http://ilhodsvr02b6/development/phh5cjl/apps/inventory/activex/barcodegetter.cab";
standby="Loading..."
type="application/x-oleobject"
width="350"
height="25">
<param name="value" value="param" />
</object>

The path in the codebase is correct because I tried copying and pasting
it into a browser and it tried to download it. I am assuming that the
CLSID is correct because the control displays properly on my
development machine. I tried setting the codebase to point to the OCX
and also appending a #version=1,0,0,0 to both the CAB and OCX paths
(the file is version 1.0.0.0), but this caused no change.

Does anyone know what is going on? This is really bugging me since it
looks like everything is correct and inline with many examples that I
have found on the web.

You help is much appreciated
