Microsoft Office Access doesn't support this ActiveX control

[swas]

Hello,

I have an Access db with the MS Grid Control on one form. The program has
worked fine for 12M+ and I have done no changes.

On my home laptop I started getting the error 438, "Object doesn't support
this property or method" when opening the form.

Then the same thing at work.

I have tried re-setting all references to no avail.

I tried creating a new db, and if I try and place the control I get the
"Microsoft Office Access doesn't support this ActiveX control" error.

The only common thread between work and laptop is a Windows Update that
recently installed. Laptop is Office 2007, work is 2003.

Any help is really appreciated. It is a primary form I use daily in my
business!


Thanks in advance.

It is due to a Windows Security update. Have a look at :-
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/957924
and
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/advisory/960715.mspx

If your control is a Flex Grid control have a look at :-

Peter,

How are you?

Your reply seems right on the money, but I am still having problems.

On my laptop, with vb6 installed, I did the SP6 upgrade. The ocx gets
upgraded to a later version, but Access won't allow use saying "Microsoft
Office Access doesn't support this ActiveX control" still.

I tried the alternate solution link you provided (www.solutionsplus...)
which installs OK but I get a "Not licenced to use..." error.

Yes it is a Flex Grid (Or Heiracial Flex Grid, either would do) I'm using.

Any further help appreciated - I am barely an Access programmer, let alone
VB6.

The MS links add more confusion unfortunately...


Thanks in advance

Here's a previous thread from mcnews. look at bottom link for updates.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------
The KB960715 "security update" sets a "kill bit" in the registry entry
for
several ActiveX controls, including several of MS's own VB6 controls.
MSFlexGrid and WinSock are two of those affected.
More info here:
<http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/advisory/960715.mspx>

It turns out that there is another KB (957924) which updates those VB6
ActiveX controls to a later version which does not have the
vulnerability
and are therefore not kill-bitted. The "OK" version for msflxgrd.ocx
and
mswinsck.ocx 6.1.98.12.
You can download this VB6 update from here:
<http://support.microsoft.com/kb/957924>

Thanks for that.

They are the same links as Peters, but makes it clear the runtime update is
needed as well!

I had done this on my work pc without vb6 which of course didn't work.
Laptop with vb6 I only installed the first update.

Thanks for the help.

Did you re-register the Flex Grid controls with regsvr32.exe?

Thanks for that.
