MSFlexGrid control

[Phil Hellmuth]

In an Access2000 DB, I utilize the MSFlexGrid ActiveX control. However,
when upgrading the DB to Access2003, I encounter problems. When opening
the form, I receive an error, 'Error 438 (Object doesn't support this
property or method) in procedure [name of procedure populating the grid]
of VBA Module [name of module]. Further, when in Design mode,
attempting to add a new MSFlexGrid control results in this error: 'You
don't have license required to use this ActiveX control'.

I checked the Knowledge Base, and didn't see this identified as an
issue. Has anyone encountered this? Any solutions? Do I need to
replace the control? If so, what control would allow for the easiest
transition?

Thanks in advance.

Phil,

I encountered this once a while ago. The problem in *that* instance was
that, being a government department where the 'network nazis' ruled supreme,
they had installed the run-time file, but not the design-time file, which
meant there was no way to place a new control on a form.

I know this isn't of much help to you. It wasn't of much help to me at the
time either. ;-7
