Registering ActiveX Controls

[Guest]

Now that I've finally decided to make the jump from Access97 to Access 2003,
I need to know if it is possible to register ActiveX Controls that I have
been using. I looked at the controls currently available but don't find the
one I'd like to continue using, Comdlg32.ocx.

Thanks

Hi R.D.H.,

If you have the Developer Extensions for Access 2003, then you should have a
design license for the Comdlg32.ocx control. However, my advice is to wean
yourself away from this control, and the ActiveX calendar control as well.
These controls cause more problems when you distribute to others than they
are worth. Here is a good replacement, which uses an API function:

Call the standard Windows File Open/Save dialog box

Tom,
I have developers edition/material for access 97 but doing a search for
Develoers extension for Access 2003, I come up with nothing that would point
me in the direction allowing the purchase. Any information would be
appreciated.

Hi R.D.H.,

You can purchase Visual Studio Tools for the Microsoft Office System, as
indicated on MVP Tony Toews' site:

I'm not sure where you would actually purchase this from, as I'm still using
Access 2002 myself. Thank You for marking my first reply as an answer. This
is appreciated.
