Active X Common Dialog Box on NT

[TailWagger]

Using Access 97 I created a database and on one of the forms I placed a Common Dialog Active X control. In on all windows 95/98 computers it works just fine, and on my NT computer it works fine, but on others' NT computers, it won't work. Access gives a message saying "object does not support this property or method" and when i go into edit the form, the object is blank white. comdlg32.ocx, comdlg32.dll comcat.dll and comdlg32.dep are in the system32 directory. But obviously something is different on my computer where it works just fine. I do have VB 6.0 if that makes any difference. Anyone have any ideas as to how to get the common dialog control to work in Access 97 under NT on these other computers? Thanks much!!

You might have to Register it in the Other PC's

Using RegSvr32.Exe, a utility program that ships with Visual Basic and allows you to register DLL's and other files into the system registry.

Type the following command into the Run dialog, replacing <Path To Windows\System(32)> with the full path to your Windows\System folder:


RegSvr32.Exe <Path To Windows\System(32)>\MSSTDFMT.DLL

i.e.

RegSvr32.Exe c:\Winnt\system32\xxxxxxxx.dll
