Hi Peter: Thanks, I found the file, downloaded and unzipped it. I then right clicked and installed it. It "claimed" the installation was successfull but it's still not available to MS Access. Are you (or anyone here) familiar with installing these types of files? There's no installation procedures listed on MS's site (at least that I could find). Any suggestions would be appreciated. =Dave R=
Dear Dave, The answer is here: http://support. <http://support.microsoft.com/kb/297381> microsoft.com/kb/297381 The MSCOMCT2.OCX is not included and you have to download it.
