MS Flex Grid - msflxgrd.ocx

[M]

I recently had an occasion to use this control and upon
the first use I received the 'unregistered ActiveX' error
message. So I determined that the .ocx file didn't exist
on the machine I was using. I subsequently made a copy of
the file from my other machine and placed it in the
appropriate directory. I then ran 'regsvr32 msflxgrd.ocx'
from the Start>Run line and was told that it succeeded.
Now when I attempt to use use the control I am told that
the OLE server is now unregistered.

I run Acc2000 on both machines, although the one I copied
from has VB6 Pro. I'm guessing that I may have copied
it's .ocx file by mistake. Should this cause this type of
problem or am I missing a step in the registration process?

Thanks

Not the right error messages but just to advise that
msflxgrd.ocx requires a license as well as registration.
VB6 Pro will contain a license to enable you to use it in
applications that you create, compile and distribute with VB.

It will also allow you to use this control in Access on that machine.

If you copy the ocx to another machine, that doesn't have an application
such as VB6, that registers and licenses it, the ocx won't work.

To use in Access you would need the Developer version of Office.
Alternatively, you could create your own ocx based on msflxgrd.ocx
in VB6 Pro.

Cheers,
Peter

Oh well. It was worth a shot. Thanks for your help.

On the other hand...ms-access is quite capable of displaying data in a grid
without any extra or special controls.

Take a look at the following screen shots:
