what are active X controls in access

[Trev Ellis]

When trying to create a query in access using the wizard I get an error
message 'Acive X Component can't create object' this message comes up as well
when I click on the design icon and when trying to use the new command. What
do I need to rectify this error. Or will I have to reinstall Office.

This will either be a problem with references, or with one of the dll's the
wizards use.

To solve wizard problems, see:

If the query calls functions, it could be a references problem. See:

I printed off the tips about solving problems with library references and
followed the instruction to re-register the dao360.dll and it was successful
and the wizard now works. Many thanks for the help.
