Hello,

I had a treeview control in Access 97 that I used to get a quick view of related data. Now I am using Access2000 and embarking onto Access2002(XP). There are links to this most useful tool under 'ActiveX Controls..' but none of them are that particular wizard that helped me in the past. I know that I can reproduce this function by using sub-datasheets but I wiould like to have it in form view not table view. Any help will be appreciated.

-Thanks.
 
The TreeView control was included with the Developer Edition of Access 97, as well as with Visual Basic Professional, Developer Studio, and other products. If you are still licensed to have any of those products on your machine, you can simply copy the file (mscomctl.ocx or comctl32.ocx, depending on version) to your Windows System folder, register it with regsvr32, and you should be able to use it.

If your current version of Access (2000 or XP) is a Developer Edition, try rerunning the install, and make sure you select the additional ActiveX controls. I don't recall exactly where it's listed in the Windows Installer dialog, but you should be able to figure it out.
