How do I use Access 2k's ActiveX Controls.

[kgreen]

Hi, I would like to explore the use of some of, what I presume to be, the ActiveX controls that can be found under the "more controls" button in Access 2k's Form Design.

My problem is, I just would not know where to start. There seems to be no documentation anywhere. I have searched Access and Access VB help, The Access knowledge base at Microsoft and on the web in general.

For example, I would like to use something like the Microseoft, ProgressBar Control Version 6 when I run a rather lengthy import of outside data.

Is there documentation that I am missing, or maybe a web site with tutorials, I would love to expand my knowledge in this area, but with out some kind of help, I do not know where to begin.

Thank you in advance,

Hi kenny,

damn good question, you can get some info from the MSDN cd's that come with VB6 or even the visual component manager, however third party offerings come with documentation and source code (some of them ;-))

most of them work as intended and you can nut out how they work by the property sheet for the control after you add it to your form. just make a test form and play around with them see what makes them tick

or check out some books fatbrain.com or amazon.com
