Well,  how are you inserting it?  My experience with MS-Visual Studio is
that you first have to register the COM/ActiveX component with the system in
some way (ie: so that Visual Studio knows it exists) and from there, you
drop it into your application using the GUI.  If Visual Studio hasn't been
told the COM object exists, it won't be able to incorporate it.  Here's a
link describing how to insert a COM object in Visual Studio .NET.

If that doesn't help, look for something similar, not sure which version of
VS you're running.
