When i open up an ms access file on another computer i receive and error message  saying i'm missing Kviw3032.ocx version 3.0. The file is located on a shared drive. When i open the file from the computer it was built on, there is no error. How do i fix this issue?

By the way,  after clicking ok a few times, i can use the database.

    ActiveX controls must be registered on the computer using them. I've never heard of anyone registering one on a share, but maybe its possible. I think what you will have to do is copy it over to your Windows System32 folder and register it.

    But if the database runs without it then you don't need it. Open the database and click through until all is clear. Then press Alt+F11 to open the code window. While in that window click on Tools>References. When the wizard opens uncheck that library.

    You're welcome. The really bad thing about ActiveX controls is if you add one to a form the library is automatically added to your references. Then if you later decide not to use it and delete it from the form the library remains.

    Thanks for your quick reply,

    I did as you suggest about going to the tools>references and to turn off the activex controls, however the controls were already off. But i did notice that one of the checkboxes was called Kview, so i unchecked that box and it seems to solve the problem.

    Thank you for your help
