Registering an ActiveX Control

[Guest]

Hi

I want to install an activeX control on a form but it is asking me to
register the control. Is there a default location for the file?

Thanks

No, but I suggest you put it in the Windows\System32 directory where several
other controls are. To register it you then need to open up any module and
select, Tools, References, Browse and then select you control and click Open.

Many ActiveX controls do not work inside MS Access unless the vendor
specifically states that they do support Access. In which case they
will likely also have sample code on their website. For more details
see the following Knowledge Base articles at support.microsoft.com.
