ActiveX Problem with making MDE file
Hello,
I am trying to run an mde file on a laptop, but Access 97 crashes when opening it. I've traced it down to a missing ActiveX control. What the odd thing is, is that there are no references in the mdb file and I cannot find which ActiveX control needs to be registered. There are no objects in the mdb that require ActiveX. The development work is done and the mde has been made on another computer.
I also do development in VB and do have other ActiveX controls registered for those apps. Could this be causing the issue with Access?
Urgent help needed!!!

I moved the mdb to the laptop the mde will be running on and tried to create the mde again. Error message -
"There was an error loading an ActiveX control on one of your forms or reports. Make sure all hte controls that you are using are properly registered. For information on registerin an ActiveX control, click help."
The database seems to run fine on the laptop if I run it from the mdb.

I took LPurvis's suggestion. Guess what I found! A form with an ActiveX control that is not registered. So I think I can fix this, but I need to konw how to to package the control with the mde file for distribution. I've never had to do this, what are my options in Access 97?

is it an error akin to "ActiveX component can't create object"?
Have you checked all your references?
(DAO especially).
Re-register them.
