Re-programming remote control

I recently replaced the battery on my remote control for my 2000 vet.
Do I need to take the remote to the dealership to get it reprogramed?
It doesn't activate anything. Do I have other options?
Help

get next to the car and hold lock and unlock together - after 15 seconds or so it should beep the horn, and you should be all set.

This isn't exactly right. If it were, anyone with a vette key fob could be in your car in 15 seconds.

You need to have the key in the ignition and the ignition turned to the on position. Then hold both buttons for ~20 seconds and after you hear te horn beep it's programmed.

I just stood outside the driver's door, and help them both down together. It worked too. Some of my other cars need you to be very close to make it reprogram.
