Hi everyone,
I can't remember what causes this bug.
I'm using an ActiveX calendar control on its own form in an application I designed. It works fine on my system but causes a problem on the clients system. Everytime the command button is clicked to load this form the system tries to reinstall office.
I know I've come accross this before but I can't remember what causes it. Is this a missing office update?

If you work in different versions if Access side by side, often the ComCat.dll file gets switched and causes Access to think it doesn't exist. You can try registering that dll on the client system...what version of access?

Its Access 2000 and the client only had the one version of the software on their system that I'm aware of but I'll check with IT. I can talk to the IT Manager but before I get him to go looking for updates or patches I want to be sure of what I'm talking about.
If this is the problem is there any work around for it or should I just use a different approach to date selection.

It could be that the client (or his IT staff member simply didn't install that component with the application. Could be something simple like a missing reference. ActiveX components are pretty stable now compared to back when we were using A97. So chances are this one's easy. I'll be curious to know which nails it.

LOL!
Me too. I'll double check the references list. But it opens OK if you cancel the installation process which leads me to believe its not a reference.

Hello Mary, Jeff:
My advice....save yourself the hassles, and worries about Versioning, ActiveX dll's, referencing, etc. by using a popup Calendar that is a native Access form, like the excellent calendar from Allen Browne that he offers as unrestricted freeware. http://allenbrowne.com/ser-51.html

Thanks pdog I'll check that out. Haven't been on Allen's site in a while. Looks like I'll have to make some time to explore there again. :)
