Activex problem - possible file or registry corruption?

[John Smith]

What is causing the following problem and how can I correct it? This is the
first time I've ever experienced something like this in 8 months of using
Access.

1) Create new db
2) New form -> Design view
3) Insert Activex Control -> choose Calendar Control 10.0

Access generates an error and closes.

Same thing happens when I am working with existing applications and try to
invoke mscal.ocx


The error log show records similar to the following:

USERENV(300.5ec) 08:29:38:036 RegisterGPNotification: CreateEvent failed
with 5
USERENV(300.5ec) 08:29:38:046 RegisterGPNotification: CreateEvent failed

with 5
USERENV(730.5e4) 08:47:21:095 RegisterGPNotification: CreateEvent failed
with 5


When browsing through the log file I noticed some events which occured
several days earlier:

USERENV(b4.94) 08:50:27:452 MyRegUnLoadKey: Hive unload for
S-1-5-21-1619138054-1435325815-989530775-1002 failed due to open registry

next 60 seconds (max).
USERENV(b4.94) 08:51:27:839 MyRegUnLoadKey: Windows was not able to unload
the registry hive.
USERENV(b4.94) 08:51:27:839 MyRegUnLoadKey: Failed to unmount hive 5

leaked from \Registry\User\S-1-5-21-1619138054-1435325815-989530775-1002

Do I have to re-install Office to fix this? or is there a less draconian way
to correct the problem?

TIA

you need to register the ocx again using regsvr32 or other means

Many people avoid using ActiveX controls. Try Stephen Lebans calendar
control instead:

Peter likely has the immediate answer. Joan's answer is a better long
term solution. You can also download Access forms calendars.
