other points: there doesn't actually seem to be a vba6.dll on the windows machine. there is a vba6 folder in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\VBA\VBA6, which contains various .dll files will copying this folder to common files in wine be any use? or more likely to break stuff? the other missing .dll files can just be copied into system 32 and registered if i understand correctly? infact couldn't find either .ocx file either. think these are activeX controls?
