Yes, mainly. A nice introductory description is given in the following book (if I remember well): [^] The following sentences, quite poor, may give a glimpse: COM (Component Object Model) is the model the other two tecnologies rely on. However, historically, OLE comes before COM (at least as name). ActiveX was, loosely speaking, a marketing move. It indicates the COM controls available for using on internet. :)
