MS Access 2003 Active X Control Licensing

[Exentrick1]

I am working with a full version of Microsoft Office 2003 and have interests
in MS Access. Currently, I am trying to use the Microsoft Common Dialog
Control, version 6.0 in the designer. Everytime I drop the control onto my
form, a message appears indicating to me that I should contact the owner of
the control for proper licensing. This has never occured previously when I
have designed GUI's in Access. Can anyone tell me what I should do to obtain
the license or is this a missing .dll file?
Thanks!

I had a problem similar to this once.
I believe it had to do with the fact that when they installed Office on my
PC, they installed the Standard version. There were other add-ins and such
that are not added unless selected in the Custom Install. If you have access
to the Office install disks see about installing the remaining aspects of
Access.

Now, that being said. What Dialog are you really trying to call? The
Open/Save? The Folder browse? The Print Dialog?

Try going to see the experts:

Click on Search.

There is a lot of great code there to accomplish what you are trying to do.

I am trying to install the Open/Save dialog box entitled Microsoft Common
Dialog Box, version 6.0. Does this help? Thanks for your timely responce!

No need to add the Common dialog control. delete it.

Goto: http://www.mvps.org/access/api/api0001.htm
Copy and paste the highlighted code into a new Module. Save.
Creat a test Form (Form1). In design mode:
Create a Textbox (Text0) on that form.
Create a Command Button (Command1) - Cancel the Wizard.
Right click on the button and select Build Event then Code Builder.

In the On Click event of the button enter:

Me.Text0 = TestIt()

Play with the filters, etc. to changes the defaults.
