Public Sub RegComponent(ByVal ComName As String, ByVal sRegister As String)
    Shell ("Regsvr32 " & ComName & sRegister)
End Sub

'How can I call this function:
'Call RegComponent(sExePath & "\Report.dll", " /u /s")
'Call RegComponent(sExePath & "\Report.dll", " /s")
'Call RegComponent(sExePath & "\Mscal.ocx", " /u /s") 'unregister
'Call RegComponent(sExePath & "\Mscal.ocx", " /s") 'register, "/s" - silent switch mode

'NOTE: You can manually register a component by going to START | RUN and
'typing in "Regsvr32.exe" and the name of component -- in quotes, full path,
'as string. For example: Regsvr32.exe "C:\Windows\System32\mscomctl.ocx"
