[AccessD] Windows 7

Hi Tony,
Access 2003 by itself runs fine under Windows 7. You found a couple of
gothas with old applications in general though. 
-Active X I just don't use them anymore so I'm not going to be of much help
resolving that issue but you can at least know that they are an issue to
resolve. 
-CommonDialog control doesn't work under Vista or W7. I recently asked about
this here and Stuart posted a perfect solution with code on 12/21/2010.
Thread was " Comctl32.ocx" If you can't find it let me know and I'll forward
it.

Subject: [AccessD] Windows 7

Hey All
I have an Access2003 program (MDE) used by a client, they have upgraded
their machines to Windows 7  and now they get the dreaded  "The OpenForm
action was cancelled" when they click the button on the main menu for one
option (the others all work fine). The only thing this form has that the
others don't is a CommonDialog control.  I haven't as yet had them check for
missing references (the office doesn't open until 8AM, I may have to send
them the MDB to check).  They startup the program with their version of
Access2003.  In trying to research the cause of this problem,  I am seeing
that  Access2003 can develop some problems when running under Windows 7.
Have any of you run into other  problems?

Thanks
Tony
