Using MS Common dialog Active X control

[Rod Thorn]

Hi,

I am trying to use the microsoft common dialog active x control on a form in
Access 2002 SP2. The control is available in the toolbox on the form, but
when I try to put it onto the form I get the error message

""You don't have the licence to use this control"

Does anybody know how I can get a liceince to use this control ?

There's code at http://www.mvps.org/access/api/api0001.htm to use the
Windows Common Dialog API directly.

Hi Rod,

Larry's answer is the best solution, since it avoids the licensing issues. You also don't
have to worry about missing references for this control when you provide this
functionality using API code. But, to answer your question, the license is included with
the Developer's Edition of Office Professional.
