ActiveX not loaded for form or report

[Guest]

I am trying to export a form to a production database and I receive this
error message. I made a copy of the database and then did some modifications
to a few forms. But I was unable to export the modified form to the
production database. I deleted the form from the production database and
tried to do a copy/paste. The form is there but I can only see the form
controls when designing the form. Has anyone run into this before and found
a solution for it? Any help would be greatly appreciated -

What do you mean by "I can only see the form controls"? Do you mean you can't see the ActiveX control that you used? Is
the control installed on the machine that's running the Production database? It would have to be, and (if you're going
to open the form in design view) you'd need the "full" control ... by that I mean that some ActiveX controls are
installed in "runtime" environments without design permissions, and trying to open the form in those environments will
cause this.

Generally speaking, you should try to do your design work on your dev machine, then move your work to the production
environment only after fully testing.

Thanks Scott.

I do have a Dev database and a Production one. I was trying to export some
objects from the Dev to the Production db. Trouble is none of the controls
i.e text boxes, buttons, labels nothing appears on the form at runtime,
however, at design I can see them.
I have already solved this issue but I would like to know why this happened.
