installing activeX control (MScomct2.ocx)

[jennyc]

Gave a user a link to an Access2000 DB she will share from the NW.
Found the Date Pick control (DTPicker) necessary for this db was not on her PC (Win98 SE).
Investigated this control and found it is part of MSComCt2.ocx
Copied this file to her PC and registered it using regsvr32.exe and it reported a successful install
Now when I open the DB, it says there is not enough memory to display the form (even after reboot with nothing else open), and Access then hangs.
Unregistered the ocx file using regsvr32 again. Access works, but back to square1.

Have I done something wrong? (I've never done ActiveX controls before)
How can I get the Date Picker on her machine?

I dont c anything wrong with what you have done.

You can try registering the control from inside access

>>Tools:>activexcontrols:>register


the problem your seeing could be another missing OCX problem, chk you have everything

the only other thing it could be is there isnt enough memory on the 98 machine to run the DB (Does it have lots of pictures???)


Hope this helps

It was not memory, I;d been using ocx file from W2K machine. Took one from a W98 machine (even though it had a newer date!) and this worked.

Thanks for your suggestions.
