I am running Access 2003 on a Windows XP Pro machine. When I am designing a
form and attempt to put the Common Diaglog Control, version 6.0 I get the
message:
"You don't have the license required to use this ActiveX control" (This is
followed by some general info about contacting vendors.
I am able to use the other MS controls such as "Animation" and "Date and
Time Picker" but not the Common Dialog.
I have searched the web and a hand full of people have had this problem but
there have been no solutions that I could find.
Can anyone help?
Are you trying to use the Common Dialog for the standard Windows File
Open/File Save dialog? If so, then scrap it in favour of the code in

Hi,
I have exactly the same problem, using Access 2k, Win XP and MS Common
Dialog Control v6.0
Doug, can I use your code to return a folder path rather than a file name?
Many thanks for any help,
Jim F.

Use the code at http://www.mvps.org/access/api/api0002.htm at "The Access
Web" for the BroweFolder dialog.

I am having the same problem also, Access 2003 Developers on XP Home machine.
I am using that code off of the mvp site for Common Dialog control
substitute myself when I could not get ActiveX controls to work - virtually
every control reports license issue. And I had XP Developers kit also. And
these are not all of the crazy controls you see - this is the Microsoft
Version 6 ActiveX controls like Common Dialog and every Active X that
normally works. Any ideas?

I appreciate that recommendation, but what I am trying to say is that I need
to be able to use ALL of the Active X controls that come with the developers
version, not just this one. I need my active x controls, all of them, to
work as they have with previous developers editions of Access. Thanks, SS
