How do I download the current version of the Ariba ActiveX control?

You can download the latest ActiveX control directly from your Ariba solution by exporting a report to Microsoft Excel. 

If an update is available, depending on your ActiveX control settings, your Microsoft Internet Explorer browser prompts you to install the latest Active X control.
