Visual Basic Editor Reference Control Error

[Anonymous]

From the VBE I am trying to add the Microsoft Common Dialog Control from the Standard Toolbox but receive the following error message when opening program "The control could not be created because it is not properly licensed." Is this a licensing problem with AutoCAD or with Microsoft?

You're almost there.  Use regsvr32 to
"register" your comdlg32 (or whatever) file and things will be a lot
rosier.

Windows comes with the runtime version of the Common Dialog Control. You
need a developer version. You can get it with any of their standalone
development languages.

Here's a link to a replacement that uses the API and requires no license:

MS does not license the common dialog control for
use in vbA. I don't know if there is a 'workaround' for getting the actual
control to work, however there are tons of API based modules (common
dialog replacements) out there. It should not be too hard for you to find and
use one of them.

Thanks for the fix. Did as suggested used regsvr.exe from dos prompt and ran on comdlg32.ocx, received message successfully registered. Unfortunately received same error message when trying to add control dialog box to VBE userform. Still not rosy here.

I believe that you must have VB in order to have a design-time development version of the control. Even then, you don't have a license to use that control in a VBA host environment.
