You register ActiveX controls from the Run dialog in Windows:
Start >>> Run
then type:
regsvr32 "C:\Windows\System32\ControlName.ocx"
or whatever path there is to the control. When you hit Enter or click OK,
you usually get back a message that the action succeeded, but sometme
controls will not need registering and you'll get a message to that
effect.
In Access, you set a Reference to the control in a code window:
Tools >>> References
then find and check the ActiveX control that you want to reference.
