Setup IVI for a DMM

I have a PXI-1002 with a PXI-4060 DMM. I'm trying to use the IVIDmm activex control to control the DMM. I cannot get it to work for the life of me. Can anyone help me set this up? My device descriptor I think it should be is PXI3::3::INSTR but I have no idea.

There is some really good info on how to do this in the KB linked below. Let me know if this does not help.

I have visited those KB links before I post. I feel like I have walked through them correctly. I even get into VB and with the ivi dmm activex control, I get it to verify... but when I run the program... I do not hear the DMM initialize and the control shows in capital red letters "ERROR"
