From MSFlexGrid Control:

Note
Before you can use an MSFlexGrid in your application, you must add the MSFlxGrd.ocx file to your project. To automatically include the file in your project, put it in the Autoload file. When distributing your application, you should install the MSFlxGrd.ocx file in the users Microsoft Windows System directory. For more information about adding an ActiveX control to a project, see "Standard ActiveX Controls" in the Visual Basic Programmers Guide.

I know this is dated. But, there are two things to try. I am assuming that your version of Windows 7 is x64?

If so, there could be a mismatch between the actual location of the .ocx and where the registry is pointing to.

See which directory the .ocx is actually in. 32 bit stuff should be in SysWow not System32.

Whichever folder it is in run regsvr32 from inside that folder and attempt to register it where it's at.

It might help to copy the entire filename first.

You can use [Shift]+right-Click on the Folder name to open a Command Prompt there.

If it fails you will have open a Command Prompt using Run as Administrator and navigate to the appropriate folder.

Which is another problem I've had, not running older setups As Administrator sometimes fails or doesn't write to the registry. (Thank You UAC)

Lastly, at home I actually have troublesome .ocx in both Folders.

I hope this helps.
