Common Dialog Control Problems.

What do you do if when trying to add a Common Dialog Control 6 (taken from COMDLG32.OCX) to a form in WordBasic it makes an "Unspecified Error"?

Is there any substitute?

emoreau,

It worked but didn't help.
I ran the VB6cli.exe file but it didn't solve the problem.

What Else can I do ?

I just read "In WordBasic" ???  I just tried on Windoes 2000 in Word 2000 without problems. What is your setup ?

Win 2000 + Word 97
I found this:

I receive an error message; "SYSTEM ERROR &H80004005(-2147467259) UNSPECIFIED ERROR" when trying to run the practice exam?

I receive an error message; "Failed to load control "Rich TextBox" from RICHTX32.OCX. Your version of RICHTX32.OCX may be outdated" when trying to run the practice exam?

I receive an error message; "Failed to load control COMDLG32.OCX. Your version of COMDLG32.OCX may be outdated" when trying to run the practice exam?

To resolve the problem:

Search the c:\windows folder and all subfolders for all files named Richtx32.ocx.

Right click each file found, select properties, then the version tab. Note the version number.

Delete all Richtx32.ocx files EXCEPT the newest version. ( NOTE: Windows May prevent you from deleting them. If this is the case you will have to boot to a command prompt and delete from there - please back them up to a diskette before deleting)

Restart the computer. (This will ensure that Windows does not have any bad .ocx references in memory)

If the exam simulator will still not load, please reinstall to ensure proper .ocx registration.

To assist you in your cleanup, I'm providing the following guidelines:

1.  Stay active in your questions and provide feedback whenever possible. Likewise, when feedback has not been provided by the experts, commenting again makes them receive an email notification, and they may provide you with further information. Experts have no other method of searching for questions in which they have commented, except manually.

2.  Award points by hitting the Accept Comment As Answer button located above and to the left of that expert's comment.

3.  When grading, be sure to read:
https://www.experts-exchange.com/jsp/cmtyQuestAnswer.jsp#3
to ensure that you understand the grading system here at EE. If you grade less than an A, you must explain why.

4.  Questions that were not helpful to you should be PAQ'd (stored in the database for their valuable content?even if not valuable to you) or deleted. To PAQ or delete a question, you must first post your intent in that question to make the experts aware. Then, if no experts object after three full days, you can post a zero-point question at community support to request deletion or PAQ. Please include the link(s) to the question(s).
CS:  https://www.experts-exchange.com/jsp/qList.jsp?ta=commspt
At that point, a moderator can refund your points and PAQ or delete the question for you. The delete button does not work.

5.  If you fail to respond to this cleanup request, I must report you to the Community Support Administrator for further action.

Our intent is to get the questions cleaned up, and not to embarrass or shame anyone. If you have any questions or need further assistance at all, feel free to ask me in this question or post a zero-point question at CS. We are very happy to help you in this task!


thanks!
