Additional VBA controls?

[Jeffrey Harris]

When I open the 'additional controls' dialog I see a bunch of controls
apparently placed there when various applications were installed. Does
their presence in the 'available controls' list really mean that they can be
used or is it just a side effect of installing the program? More
specifically, there is a Quicken class. I've tried to use it and every time
it causes Excel to crash.

Jeff,

A controls presence in the list means only that it has been registered with
Windows and can be used under certain circumstances in certain types of
programs. It does not mean that you can actually use the control on a form
or in a project. It is, as you say, a side effect of installing the program.

That's what I figured. Thanks Chip.
