Microsoft Office Outlook View Control Object Failing

I am able to insert the Microsoft Office Outlook View Control object and set the folder that I am trying to have it use as a source in Design View.  The calendar's information that I'm trying to link to this object is visible in Design View as well.  However, upon viewing the form in Form View the following error message is displayed: "There is no object in this control."  Any ideas?

What version of the OVC? I know that the 2007 version of the OVC isn't supported outside of Outlook, and is specifically known to fail in Access 2007:

There are enough newsgroup postings with the OVC and Access 2003 failures to make me stay away from it outside of Outlook userforms ... and the error you report is the one that is thrown when the OVC isn't supported on the machine.

hey guys, we'll definitely try what pco_pf suggested but just so you're aware we are dealing with Access 2003 and Outlook 2007.  Not sure if this changes anything or if this allows for more suggestions... Thanks
Yes, I saw that in your postings ... as I said, there are enough newsgroup postings with your same setup (Access 2003), that have encountered the same error (with no fix other than "you can't do that", from some pretty knowledgeable people) to make me stay away from that combination.
The workaround of embedding the OVC onto a Microsoft Forms 2.0 Frame worked.  Once the OVC worked in the frame, navigating to the proper folder using the correct view was done through code -- thanks so much!
