What is the general consensus on active x
controls like the treeview control? Are they
worth the trouble or should I steer clear of them?
The treeview can be used without "adding an ActiveX" -- a good source of
links and information for the TreeView is
http://www.accessmvp.com/JConrad/acc.../treeview.html. It is (usually
or always) available directly from Windows, so you don't have the hassles of
distributing the ActiveX with your Access application. In general, I've
agreed with the other responders, because of those hassles, and avoided
ActiveX Controls that had to be distributed to the users, and installed.
The TreeView is excellent for navigating a hierarchical information
structure (like the Windows file system).
