Hello,

I've built a database that uses "Microsoft Windows Common Controls 6.0
(SP4)". Everything worked well.

For unknown reasons, a bug recently appeared (everything worked well some
weeks ago). When using some VBA functions, I get a message syaing
(translated from french !) "compilation error : project or library can't be
found". When I check the References list, the line "Microsoft Windows Common
Controls 6.0 (SP4)" is tagged "MISSING". The properties show that the path
of this library (?) is "c:\windows\system32\mscomctl.ocx". And this file
exitist in the right folder of my system.

So what ???
What happens ?
How can I fix that ?

thanks for your Help,
JFP

Try to register mscomctl.ocx using regsvr32.exe, then restart access and try
again

I just tried following command :
regsvr32 /i c:\windows\system32\mscomctl.ocx

but it doesn't work.
it says (translated from french) "c:\windows\system32\mscomctl.ocx is not an
'executable' file. No registration application exist for this kind of file.

And, unless I did not understand how it works, regsvr32 seems to work with
dll files and not ocx files.

Thanks for your help !
Any other idea ?

regsvr32 should work with ocx as well. See

Try it without the /i parameter.
