Inserting Common Dialog Class control = The operation on the OLE object failed.

[Bilbo_Baggins_Esq]

Running Access 2010 64 bit on Windows 7.

I’m trying to insert a Common Dialog Class Control but getting the following error:

The operation on the OLE object failed.
The OLE server may not be registered.
To register the OLE server, reinstall it.

Any help or link to existing code would be greatly appreciated.

You don't need the common dialog. Use the built-in Application.FileDialog instead.

Thanks Bob!

Long time no see!
I hope you've been well?

I'm trying to wean an old Access 2000 db off an old “TACOMP.ocx” control package.

A friend of mine employed a developer many years ago to build a pretty complex db but has since disappeared, along with the developer license for the controls.

I have a feeling I may be back for more help as I get deeper into this mess.
