VWD express ActiveX tool bar icon grayed out

[Hank]

Hello,

I am trying to use Visual Web Developer Express to develop a web
application. I have an ActiveX component that is a major piece of
functionality that I need to use. When I add the ActiveX component to
the tool bar it appears as a grayed out icon. I can not seem to find a
way to make the tool active so I can use it on a web form.

I have the full version of visual studio 2003 and the activex icon
comes up on the tool bar and I can drop it right into a form.
Unfortunately the powers that be want this application developed for
asp.net 2.0. This is why I have downloaded VWD express. My fear is
that ActiveX control functionality is blocked in the “Express” version
of VWD and I am going to have to buy the full blown version of Visual
Studio 2005 to get this to work. Has anyone out there been able to
make ActiveX controls work within VWD Express?

Thanks
