Active X Controls in Access

[Guest]

I posted a question yesterday about Active X Controls and I still have the
same problem. I am trying to drag and drop a control from the tool box named
Microsoft Common Dialog Control 6.0. A message came up indicating that I must
have the proper license and might need to contact the company that offers the
control. I have installed the Active X control's .ocx file and it still gives
me the same error message. Does anyone have a solution for me? Thanks!

Take a look at http://www.mvps.org/access/api/api0001.htm which uses the API
for the Windows Common Dialog. If that does what you want, you don't need an
ActiveX control, which will save you some effort and irritation.
