I'm trying to use the MS Common Dialog control within a form in Access 2003.
I have a database that was created at another site that uses the comdlg32.ocx
control to provide a file save dialog. It works fine. The problem is that I
have created a new application and I need to make use of the same control.
However, when I try to add the Microsoft Common Dialog Control to my
application, it says I don't have the required license. I didn't realize you
needed a license for that control. How do you go about obtaining it?

Is there an easier way to create a file save dialog?

In order to use the any of the Msft Active X controls you must have a
license to one of their development tools (Like VB6). In any case you
should avoid Active X controls in Access when ever possible. Access does
not place nice with many of them.

You are in good luck though, because there is a proven well documented way
to do this. Have a look here: http://www.mvps.org/access/api/api0001.htm
