vbalDTab6.ocx is a tab control from vbAccelerator. I registered it but
it does not appear in the list of ActiveX controls (at least that I can
recognize). Is there anything special that has to be done before these
can be used? Like, does the vb6 runtime need to be installed? I'm not
sure if it is on my system.

Are you hoping to use the control in Access? It's entirely possible that it
will not work, as Access is far "pickier" about the COM interfaces with
which it will and won't work. See http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=202104
for details (while the article only mentions Access 2000, it holds for all
versions)

If you're not using Access, then you've posted to the wrong place. This
newsgroup is for questions about using ActiveX controls with Access, the
database product that's part of Office Professional. You'd be better off
asking in one of the microsoft.public.vb.controls groups.

For Access. I know very well that Access is often a pita with ActiveX
controls. Some of these vbAccelerator controls must be good with Access
as Alex D points people to them once in a while. They all seem to be
built with vb6, and I was wondering if the runtime for that was needed
in order for them to work, as a possible reason that I didn't see the
control listed. Alex may chime in at some point.

Hi,
I am not familiar with vbalDTab6.ocx control, so cant say if it really
works in access. but you should see it in a list of activex controls. first
looks at dependencies this control uses, then make sure you have runtime
installed (believe you can find it at vbaccelerator site)
