Access 2007 - mscomct2.ocx

1 New Member
We've just installed Accessd 2007 that is running a database developed in 2003. The date picker isn't working - we have no pop up calendars, just empty white spaces.

I need to figure out how to activate the mscomct2.ocx activex control in Access 2007 so we can get caught up on our data entry!

Please help,

Jesse

You may have to properly Register the ActiveX Control - try:
  1. Any Form Design View.
  2. Tools ==> ActiveX Controls.
  3. Click Register.
  4. Browse for the mscomct2.ocx File (should be in the System32 directory under your Windows Directory..
  5. Click on OK. It should now be registered.
    --------------------------- OR ---------------------------
    Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
    1. 'substitute your own Path
    2. regsvr32.exe C:\Windows\System32\mscomct2.ocx

Does this need to be done on all en-user machines?

You do know that there's a new built in date-picker in Access 2007? You can select any date field on your forms, and enable the date picker in it's propeties. If all your end-users are going to be running the Acc2007 runtime, then this might be a simpler fix.

The following is copied from the help file:

TextBox.ShowDat ePicker Property
Gets or sets whether the date picker control is displayed for the specified text box. Read/write Integer.
Version Added: Access 2007

expression.Show DatePicker
expression A variable that represents a TextBox object.

Value Description
0 The date picker control is not displayed.
1 The date picker control is displayed when the text box is bound to a Date field.

The ShowDatePicker property is not available for text boxes on reports

Someone is trying to run my Access 2002 database under Access 2003. He has had a number of problems: 1) i used the MSComCt2.ocx for it's Date and Time picker. I can't find it under 2003. Do I need to send it to them? 2) I have a function to fill a table with values, that store the page and column numbers of a display of staff members. I had him check the link to Microsoft DAO 3.6 Object Library under references, but it still won't...

How will Access fair in a year? Two years? .... The new version of Access seems to service non programmers as a wizard interface to quickly create databases via a fancy wizard.

Microsoft continues to publish numerous articles and videos on how you...

I've been clicking around Access 2007 Beta 2 and can't see the custom menu bar designer. Is it in the beta? Maybe I'm blind. The question that comes to mind is: Will custom menu bars be the same height as they were in previous versions or will they be the "ribbon" style that takes up a huge portion of the screen? Also when I use Access 2007 to open an Access 2003 database that has custom menu bars they display as they did in Access...

Hi folks, I'm relatively new to Access, but I seem to have drawn the short straw, so I have the assignment for my workplace of looking for problems/inconsistencies in migrating applications to Access 2007 from previous versions. We don't have a lot of Access applications, but even a dozen or so can be an interesting challenge. I have loaded a few that were created in Access 2003 into Access 2007 and all of the ones I have tried have come up...

A client of mine likes some of the new bells and whistles in Access 2007, and is thinking about converting our A03 format MDB to an A07 format file. However, while some of the users have A07, many do not, and it's not clear when they would get it. His thought was to use the upcoming Access 2007 runtime to allow the users who are still running Office 2003 to be able to run the database. While I use multiple versions of Access on my...

Hi all, So I bought a new laptop 10 days ago to test my apps with Vista. (home premium) Apparently Office 2007 is pre-installed. (a time limited but complete test version, no SP1) So I take the opportunity to test some new features of Access2007 before actually 'stepping over'. First thing that troubles me of course is 'the ribbon', but my question now is about speed. I opened one of my Access 2000-apps in Access 2007. Speed and...

Hi !! I'm about to develop a new project for a client. Should I go about it in Access 2003 or 2007 ? Purchasing it either for me or for my client is not a major consideration here ... what I'd like to know is the stability, speed & ease of use of both the products. I believe Access 2007 has a new file format too and that it may be slower.

I think I made a major blunder, and now Access 2007 no longer opens. I made the mistake yesterday of using the "test" option in wise installer for my Access 2007 runtime app. It actually installed the Access 2007 Runtime SP-1 (I did have full office 2007 SP-1, however). I didn't notice a problem until I had to use Access 97. Once I re-opened Access 2007, I got the usual message about the Installer (as it tries to repair every time you...
