Common dialog box

Anonymous
Not applicable
To any and all,
I have created a userform, gone to Additional Controls and checked the
Microsoft Common Dialog Version 6.0. The icon then appears on the toolbox.
I click the icon and when I try to draw the icon on the userform I get the
error warning "The control could not be created because it is not properly
licensed." I get this warning or something very similar when trying to
insert this control on all of VBA applications.

Is it necessary to get a separate license for this particular control or
is there something else wrong?

I'm using W98, P3, 500 mhz, LDDT2 256 megs ram.

Thanks,
Greg Wright

I got around that one by installing VB5 Control Creation Edition, which is a
free download from MS's site (if they still have it).

You could also get any of the VB products installed (good excuse to get VB
if you're doing this at work!) and that would take care of it. Or use the
licenses collection to add in the control, but I'm not sure how to do that.

Email if you just need VB5CCE.

The Common Dialog is only for VB programs. You either need to make your own control or download one that is freely available for VBA programs. The one I use, and works great, is at:
