problems creating an option group in Access

[Mike]

When I try to create an option group using the wizard in MS Access i get an
pop up that states "ActiveX component can't create object". I only have the
problem on my home computer and can't figure out what i need to do to allow
it to work.

Hi Mike,

Try the following steps. You possibly have other wizards that are not
functional as well.

Replace three files on your hard drive, Acwzmain.mde, Acwzlib.mde and
Acwztool.mde, using the instructions shown in KB 303769. One or more of these
files may have become corrupted. Do this without Access running.

1.. Insert the Microsoft Office or Access compact disc.

2.. By using Windows Explorer, open the Pfiles\Msoffice\Office\1033 folder
on your CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive, and locate the Acwzmain.mde, Acwzlib.mde and
Acwztool.mde files.

3.. Select these files, and then click Copy on the Edit menu

4.. Open the folder that you installed Office into. The default folder is
C:\Program
Files\Microsoft Office. Select the Office\1033 folder, and then on the Edit
menu, click Paste.

If that doesn't fix the problem, try re-registering the Accwiz.dll and
DAO360.dll files. Use the directions in steps 4 & 5 to re-register these
..DLL files.

Take a look at http://www.mvps.org/access/bugs/bugs0007.htm at "The Access
Web". If you're using Access 2000 or newer, it's dao360.dll that you need to
reregister, not dao350.dll

off the bat thanks for the help
