Run-Time app using Comdlg32.ocx

[Beantree]

I've developed a Access 2002 runtime application which uses the Common dialog controls. When I install this on a machine without the full version of Access 2002, the Common Dialog control doesn't work. I get the error message, "ActiveX component cannot create object".

If I install on a machine with full Acess 2002 it works fine.

I assume that the installation program is not overwritting the existing Comdlg32.ocx and .dll files already on the machines from prior office versions, and that the Access 2002 application can't use the earlier versions correctly.

Please help.

Beantree,
You may need to register that ocx:
In Start button, do RUN, then type:
Regsvr32 comdlg32.ocx

You should get the 'succeeded' message, if not, check the path of this file, and you may need to qualify the full path in the regsvr32 statement.

The installation program does register the OCX files, if it installs them. I believe it isn't bothering to install them at all.
