MS access 97 - Active X Controls not there

[Tweetiepie]

Hi,
I am using MS Access 97 to create dbs. I have been able to use the activex controls on other dbs but now they are not here. When i click to register the .ocx files .. it says thay it has registered but there are none in the list. Also when i click on more controls in the Tool box there is nothing there. I have tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it but it made no difference.
I have tried this with many dbs so its not just the one db. I have also checked if the .ocx files were present on the machine and they are all there.
Really need help on this one!
Thanks a million

I presume you only need one or two
which ones are they.

here is the command line for registering a .DLL or .OCX
------------------------------------------
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
----------------------------------------------

I think they got corrupted or something got corrupted that points to them.
that something needs to be removed.
When you re-installed did you get rid of the everything.

Try removing the one .OCX you want to use.
copy it from another machine that you know it works on.
the register it with above info.
