Treeview

[Phil]

Using Windows XP and Access 2K I used MSCOMCTL.DLL to build a treeview type
menu system. I Now need to move to Windows 7 and Access 2010. Althogh
MSCOMCTL appears to be registerd, when I drag it onto the form from the
additional controls, I get a message that the "OLE server isn't registerd".

Help please

Thanks

Phil

hi Phil,

While I personally haven't tested it yet, it should work, but you have
be carefully:

1. Is it a 32-bit or 64-bit Windows 7? If it's a 64-bit version then you
have to choose the correct path, if you're putting it into the systems
folder.

2. Register the control under an account with administrative privileges.
Open a command line window using the context menu with 'Run as
Administator' option.

Thanks for coming back

Using 64 bit Windows 7.
Normally registerd in System32 for windows XP, but is this the correct path
for the 64 bit version. I currently have it in Windows \SysWOW64 and
apparently also in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Visual
Studio Tools for Office\PIA\Common. Dont know if there is a conflict.
It is also refereced in the visual basic .......... I'm gettin confused

Right.. start again
There is a MSCOMCTL.dll in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio
10.0\Visual Studio Tools for Office\PIA\Common and C:\Windows\SysWOW64

There is a MSCOMCTL.OCX in C:\Windows\SysWOW64,
C:\Windows\System32
and and C:\Users\Phil\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\AddIns.

There is a MSCOMCTL32.OCX in C:\Windows\SysWOW64

My VB reference points to C:\Windows\SysSysWOW64\MSCOMCTL.OCX. There are no
compilation errors.

When I try to add the treeview to my form, I am using the Insert ActiveX
Control and picking Microsoft Treeview Control, version 6.0.

So what should be where and what should be registerd?

Again many thanks,

Phil

hi Phil,

What Access version do you use? 64-bit or 32-bit? As the MSCOMCTL.OCX is
32-bit, so you need the 32-bit version.
