Hello everyone,

I am having a major problem and I can not find a resonable answer any
where, so I hope some one here can help me out. I have been working with
Access 2000 for a long time and have always been able to Insert the ActiveX
control "Microsoft Common Dialog control, version 6.0". I now have made the
jump into Office 2003 and Access 2003 which when I try to Insert the ActiveX
control "Microsoft COmmon Dialog control, version 6.0" I get the following
error: "You dont' have the license required to use this ActiveX control."

Can I assume that Office 2003 Professional does not have the Design Time
License for this control now? If that is the case what do I need to get the
License. Please someone help me!

Thank you
BadMojo

Hi,
best option - is to get rid of this control and use API functions:

Yes, but if you had a boss that said you HAD to use the ActiveX control, what
would the company need to purchase to get the job done. I am one of many
developers and they do not what us to change the way its been done.

Ok, that makes sense
you have to install developers version of access in order to use this
control, or VB5/6

BTW, office (and Access) 2003 has also build-in FileDialog object, which do
the same

Hi,

Alex is correct. You might consider creating a Common Dialog Class Wrapper
(See
http://msdn.microsoft.com/archive/default.asp?url=/archive/en-us/dnarvb4/html/ms
dn_comdlg.asp).
You can perform all the functions of the Common Dialog Control without an
extra ActiveX COM+ control.
