using "List View" ActiveX Control

[Guest]

When I insert a "List View" ActiveX Control into a new Form, and then switch
to form view (as opposed to design view), I get the following error:

"The operation on the OLE object failed.
The OLE server may not be registered.
To register the OLE server, reinstall it."

Then after I click "OK" I get another error:
"There is no object in this control."

From "Tools - ActiveX Controls..." I find that the control is in the
following file:
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\FPDTC.DLL" - and when I do
properties on this, it tells me that it is a "Microsoft Office Frontpage
Design-Time Control".

I also found that this control (and file) is only available when I have Word
2003 installed.

I have tried registering the file with the following command:
regsvr32.exe "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office11\FPDTC.DLL"

Only to get the following error (trying to uninstall gives the same error:
"LoadLibrary("C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office11\FPDTC.DLL") failed
- A dynamic link library (DLL) initialization routine failed."


Has anyone got any ideas about this?

Tim,

Are you trying to use a ListView in Access and have you picked it from the
Tools menu. Because I use it quit frequently with no problems. Choose the
ListView control 6.0 and you shoul be ok. You have chosen something else I
guess it being a Microsoft Frontpage listview..

Yes, I am trying to use it in Access.

I don't have a control called "ListView control 6.0", I can only see a "List
View" control.

Could you tell me what file it says "ListView control 6.0" is using? If you
go Tools - ActiveX Controls, then there should be a field with the control
location for the selected control.

Listview comes from the Windows Common Controls library. The newer one is
mscomctl.ocx, the older one is comctl32.ocx
