When I paste certain forms from one DB to another using Access 97, I get the
error that there is no activeX control.

I also get the error later that "There is no object in this control" which
MS indicates is also an ActiveX error.

I dont know a thing about ActiveX and I dont really want to learn. Can I
deal with this somehow without knowing ActiveX?

If the form you are pasting contains an ActiveX control, you will need to
open any code module and go to Tools/References and set the correct
reference for that ActiveX control. The reference is automatically set if
you select the control from the ToolBar and draw it on the form. But the
cut and paste or import does not set the reference.
