Userform Control Error

W

Wild Horses

Hi there,
I'm a newbie, using VBA 6.0 in Excel 2002. When trying to place several of
the controls from the "Additional Controls" list (e.g. MS Data Grid Control,
MS Flex Grid Control), I get an error saying "The control could not be
created beacuse it is properly licenced". What's going on? Do I need a
special license to use these controls? Are there alternatives that would do
the job (present tabular data either entered by user or filled from code)?
HLP!
Tanks in advance.

Hi

Any user of that will need a license to run the controls in design time,
usually meaning that Visual Studio version something must be installed on
every system. Don't go there, additional controls are mostly trouble if you
write for more users than yourself.

You could perhaps use the spreadsheet web control ? It's like a worksheet.

and supposed to be installed with Office.

HTH. Best wishes Harald
