Common Dialog Control Error

[Markr]

Hi All

I have written an Access Database Application with the use of VB6 that makes use of the “CommonDialog” ActiveX control to call a Browse File facility. Because I have Visual Basic 6.0 installed on my system all the function works fine.

The problem occurs when another user who has not got Visual Basic 6.0 in their system comes to use the same application. When they use the browse facility an error message “438 Object doesn’t support this property or method”.

At first I believed that the issue stemmed from a problem with the references that Access was using but upon matching both systems to use the same reference the same error occurs.

Any Ideas?

For Access databases always use the CommonDialog API instead of the CommonDialog ActiveX control as there is usually a license issue, even though the common dialog comes as part of windows.

Thanks,
But will this still allow me to use the FindFirstFile function which i have also implemented as part of the same function
