Active X not in Toolbox - Microsoft Access / VBA

Mike

I have been using an Active X control(SFrmAx5 2.ocx) in my Access
program without problem in the past.

However now I can see the control(SFrmAx5 2.ocx) in my System 32 folder,
I see the control listed in the References for my program but the
control is no longer working in my program nor is it available on the
Active X list in the toolbox.

I have tried registering (and unregistering) it using Regsvr32 but I
get the error meesage "Load Library (SFrmAx52.ocx) failed - The
specified module could not be found."

I have spent hours on this.

Any suggestions please.

Thank you for the help in advance.

Mike:

The following KB article deals with a similar error message, although not
specifically related to your control. It implies that this error message
can be generated when dependent files are missing or damaged. I don't know
the details of your Active X control, however, I thought I would pass it
along.

As David Lloyd says it sounds like a missing or damaged dependency.

Have a look at using dependency walker to check out what is going on. You
can get details on how to do this and a download link at

Except I've just spotted the article says you start profiling from the View
menu, this is wrong with the download version there is a Profile menu.
