Why did no one respond to the request I posted. Is it too easy or too hard - I asked:
Hi - I need some help. I created an app in Access97. Found a new coustomer and went to install it at his site. My common dialog control was empty. His version of Access listed Common Dialog Control, but it was not registered. I tried to register comdlg16.ocx and received the message "Unable to register control. You must use Add/Delete utility". Anybody want to help out a poor little fella? Thanks in advance
"Why did no one respond to the request I posted."
Probably because no-one knows the answer...
Sorry I don't know the answer either, all I do with Access is creating a database...
But add/remove utiliy sounds like a little tool that ships with Access (guess...)
Crazy D :-)

If you're shipping your Application to Customers, you should be supplying everything needed to run it, ie. a Runtime version of Access97 and all the relevant OCX's.
Also, shouldn't it be using ComDlg32.ocx, not it's 16bit counterpart.

I've heard of other people having problems using the common dialog control from Access. I posted code on this board a few weeks ago showing the code to call the common dialog without use of this control.

What version of VB are you using?
You should probably be trying to register comdlg32.ocx like this in the Start/Run dialog box :
regsvr32 <path 2 file here>\comdlg32.ocx
