I am attempting to add an ActiveX Calendar Control to my form, and I
keep getting the following error:

"The object doesn't contain the automation object '[vertical line].'

"You tried to run a Visual Basic procedure to set a property or
method for an object. However, the component doesn't make the
property or method available for automation operations.

"Check the component's documentation for information on the
properties and methods it makes available for automation operations."

FYI, I used the ActiveX Calendar Control that ships with Access and
it appears to be registered in Windows. I did not obtain the error
until I opened the Properties Window of the Calendar and then went
to the Visual Basic Editor to automate a task.

Thaks in advance for helping me correct this error.

whether u r using Microsofr Calender Control 8.0.
chk whether it is registered properly.

i tested by changing the color and some other property now.
It works fine.

My o/s: Windows2000 Proffessional
Visual Basic 6.0


i don't know if u r using som third party tools.

I am using the MS ActiveX Calendar Control 7.0 that shipped with Access 2002 XP.

Thanks,

David

David-

It sounds like the control isn't registered properly. Frankly, I gave up on the ActiveX controls distributed with Access a long time ago. I now use a form designed as a calendar that I pop open from a command button. You can find a sample at http://www.viescas.com/Info/links.htm#Downloads. It's an Access 97 database, but you can convert it easily to a newer version.
