"list view" control

Question

I have a database that uses the Microsoft ListView Control, version 6.0. When the database is run under Access 2007 it runs fine. The Control appears in the Active X Control listing as well.

     When running the same databse under 2010, none of the ListView fields work properly. Additionally the Listview Control does not appear in the Active X Control listing. (Please note that this is being run on 2 different computers)

     I reregistered the MSCOMCTL.OCX file that i believe contains this control but it still does not function properly nor does it appear in the Active X Control listing. Any help with this would be appreciated.

Answer 1

Hi Jorist,

I would say you are on the right track.  I would assume the mscomctl.ocx file is a 32 bit active x control, thus you won’t be able to use it within the 64 bit version of Access.

Hi Jorist,

Unfortunately, I am not aware of a 64 bit ListView controls but that doesn’t mean there isn’t one? Since it isn’t a native Access control, I really don’t use it much.  Perhaps someone else has some suggestions on what you can use in place of it, if you need to use 64 bit Access.

Answer 3

Nathan,

     Thanks for the feed back on my posts, I appreciate any help that I can get.

Running a 32 bit office 2010 in a Virtual Machine using win xp mode or Win 7 32bit seems to have solved my immediate problem ( I have both set up). What was strange is that this particular database uses other 32bit active x controls that worked with no problem.

(Just as a side not for others reading this post, I also installed Office 2010 32bit on a Win 7 64 bit (not a virutal machine) and the controls worked fine in that environment as well.)

Is there a permanent solution that you couild recommend as a replacement for the ListView control that can be used with a 64 bit version of Access 2010? Something that provides the same type of functionality. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Answer 4

Windows 7 64 bit

Office 2010 64 bit

     I have been researching this everywhere that I can and think I might have a solution. I am setting up a virtual pc with 32 bit Windows 7 and 32 bit Office 2010 to try and address the problem. Any thoughts on this? or am I wasting my time.

Answer 5

Hi Jorist,

Do you have the 32 bit version of Office 2010 or the 64 bit version of Office 2010 installed on your other machine?
