ActiveX Control MS-Office 2010

Hi,
I have Windows 8.1 (64 bit) running on my PC and MS-Office Professional Plus 2010 (32-Bit) installed. The problems is when I want to add an ActiveX control to my word or excel file, it does not so and pops a message saying "The program used to create
this object is Forms. That program is either not installed on your computer or is not responding. To edit the object, install Forms or ensure any dialog boxes in the Forms are closed."
I looked around on the net but couldn't find a solution related. could some provide any assistance to solve this issue. would be grateful

Using Adobe Reader ActiveX control in Access 2010

I have an access 2010 database containing records that have individual associated pdfs. I have embedded a Adobe Acrobat PDF reader control in a form and created a function to load the appropriate pdf using the .LoadFile method so that it is visible on the same form as the database record. When I move to a new record I want to close the file and clear the control (as though I had just opened the form) but I can't find the method to close/unload the file. How can I do this please?
Addition - I have included some additional references to the Access DB so intellisense identified the methods for the Active X control (acroPDF). There is no 'unload' or 'close' method though that I can see, unless there are options to the ExecCommand method that I can use??
All help gratefully received. Thanks. Dave

I don't know if this is the best way or if it works in Access 2010, but it worked for me in the 2003 version. I set the enabled property to false and back to true. Here's the code that also checks for a null in the JobOrderNumber field:
On Error GoTo ErrorHandler
JOstr = Me.JobOrderNumber
On Error GoTo 0
On Error Resume Next
ErrorHandler:
Me.AcroPDF0test.Enabled = False
Me.AcroPDF0test.Enabled = True
End Sub

Activex Control with Office 2003

Hi,
I have an application where i need to export data to MS Word for reporting purposes. Thing is it works fine with Word 2000, but when i tried it on a Word 2003 system, the 'Table population' code gives me an error. I am reporting a data table, where I show all the results of calculations. any ideas on fixing this one?
anand

Hi Anand,
Have you tried running one of the sample applications that come packaged with LV 7.1? In particular, try running the example titled "Sample Report (Word).vi". It uses the high level VIs to create a Word Document, including a table that is populated with data. If that works, I would look into comparing that example with your code and see what they have done differently.

Office 2013 ActiveX Controls no Popup

Hello,
I am testing the active x control settings, but I don´t get a popup message for active x. I have enabled the option to promt me before active x code is executed, but its working without any popup. If I disable active x control the occurs the excepted behave
that no active x code is executed. For testing I have created only a simple active x control with some vba code for a msgbox.
So my question is, under which
circumstances the popup message for active x appears?
Thanks.

If the Trust Center detects a potentially unsafe ActiveX control , the control is disabled, and the Message Bar appears to notify you of a potentially unsafe ActiveX control. Depends on how the ActiveX control is marked and whether a VBA project exists in
the file together with the ActiveX control.

LabView database connectivity toolkit 1.0.1 compatibility with MS-ACCESS 2010 / Labview report generation toolkit for Office 1.1.3 compatibility with Office 2010

In the very near future we will be forced to upgrade to Office 2010 Company wide and I am a little concerned with some of our older test platforms that have applications built in LabView 8.2.1. These applications save data to MS-ACCESS 2000 databases using the LabView database connectivity toolkit 1.0.1. Office 2003 is also loaded on these test platforms with all test reports generated using the LabView report generation toolkit for Office 1.1.3.
I have not gotten my hands on a copy of Office 2010 yet to see if there will be any compatibility issues. Does anyone have any experience in this area?

The MS-Access part is fairly well isolated through the ADO interface LabVIEW uses. The only possible problems there IMHO are difficulties with possible Acess compatibilities itself such as an example, SQL statement you may have invoked directly through the ADO interface. Maybe you did use a depreciated command back then that has since been removed. As long as the only thing you do are simple INSERT and SELECT statements only, I would expect it to just keep working.
The Report Generation interface is a different beast. Microsoft manages to change the Automation interface with every version of office in a way that strongly binding applications like LabVIEW break on. There is no good way around that except not changing those methods, but that is a cause that has been lost already. You will certainly have to verify the version dependant Report Generation API VIs to still work with Office 2010 and most likely you will have to make some changes to those VIs to make them work again with the modified ActiveX interface of Office 2010. Note, that I have no experience with porting report generation to Office 2010 but I have had some headaches from porting that between Office 97, 2000, 2003, and 2007.

Excel VBA - ActiveX Control - MonthView not available under ActiveX Toolbox for Windows 8 64bit MS Office 2010

Hello,
I have Windows 8, 64bit and Office 2010
I am trying to get the 'datepicker' (MonthView) ActiveX control toolbox in Excel 2010 as part of a Excel UserForm I have created. I have spent all day trying to find a solution for my problem.
I opened up the 'more.. ' but the MonthView/datepicker/calendar control is not listed.
I referred to some articles and confirmed that I do indeed have the mscomct2.ocx file in the C:\Windows\syswow64 folder.
I followed the instructions as above, opening up the Administrator Command Prompt and changed the directory to C:\Windows\syswow64 and typed in RegSvr32.
I received a popup screen confirming my registration was successful
Excel was closed. So I opened Excel and checked out the ActiveX Tool box and clicked on the 'More Controls', but there was no listing for the Microsoft MonthView control, (nor datepicker/calendar)
I then downloaded the latest Windows Common Controls 2 6.0 from the following site
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/297381
Copied the original file (2008) and saved it elsewhere on the computer for safekeeping.
Extracted the new mscomct2.ocx.
Under the C:\Windows\syswow64 I changed the original file properties to allow me to overwrite it with the new file. This worked … old file replaced.
I then registered the new file via the Administrator Command Prompt (as above) and was notified that it was successful. I rebooted pc and went back into Excel to find the MonthView in the
ActiveX toolbox, More Controls… and it still wasn’t there …
I would be very grateful if someone could advise how I can get this control and allow me to use it.
If I have left out any information that you need to resolve this issue, please advise.
Cheers,
TheShyButterfly
Hope you have a terrific day, theShyButterfly

Hi George,
Thank you for checking this out ... :)
I am using Office 2010 64 bit ...
I found the
mscomct2.ocx file originally within the C:\Windows\syswow64 directory (this was an original file .... which I expect was installed via Microsoft at the time of the Office installation.
As I mentioned above, I followed
the instructions (same as the ones you suggested), but still no go, even though it stated that the registration was successful ! :(
Why weren't these features included in the 64 bit ? ... yes, I read the article ... but ... so MS doesn't think that people/developers would be needing this in due course? I installed the 64bit version because I'm running the Win8 64bit version ...and
I deal with a lot of large spreadsheets and can't afford to sleep whilst they decide to load.
If MS included all the other ActiveX controls and some obscure ones, surely some bright spark could have thought that something as useful as MonthView should be included as 'basic' necessity when dealing with forms and sheets?
Perhaps you could pass the suggestion up the line .... there are a lot of other people out there having the same problem ... I found heaps when I was looking for a solution.
Sorry, I'm not having a go at you, but just incredibly frustrated .... the amount of lost productivity directly cause by trying to find a solution that doesn't exist ... it's been at least a good solid 24 hours.
But thank you for taking the time to review my post and your suggestion. It's unfortunate that because you are part of the organisation ... you tend to cop some slack from frustrated people like myself.
In relation to the pictures/screen dumps, 2 of them made it (I can see them in my post) ... one I deliberately left out because there was nothing on there that showed anything other than the rest of the 'More Controls' - nothing to do with the MonthView.
Please feel free to escalate this to the powers that be ... and hopefully enough people will join the voice so a change can be made (I can dream ... can't I?)
I've taken a screen dump of the Forms/ActiveX toolbox.
I don't know what the next step is ... I guess you'd be able to advise.
Cheers,
TheShyButterfly
Hope you have a terrific day, theShyButterfly

The control panel will NOT let me activate either CONTACTS or Calendar as it just says I do not have a default profile setup, which I do have. I have checked it over and over again but it still refuses to let me use these features. I am using Office 2010

Word 2010 ActiveX control makes combo box malfunction

Good day. I'm teaching my students how to make electronic forms in Word 2007 / 2010.
As there is no radio button option in the content / legacy controls, I've tried using the ActiveX option button for this purpose.
However, as soon as I insert this control, the combo box malfunctions when I enable protection for filling in forms - it doesn't let the user enter their own value.
Can anyone tell me if I'm doing something wrong or are ActiveX controls just simply not meant to be used in Word forms without macros?
(Note: I know nothing about coding and the bare minimum about macros as that is not required in our curriculum)

I have just put up a file for you at:-
http://www.pierrefondes.com/
- item 191.
In the 2007 version I am able to reproduce what you say.
However . . .
Using the Form Master on page 3 of 8 sometimes I was able to get MSoft into the Combo Box Content Control field and save it as
that.
The only way I have been able to edit the Combo Box Content Control in the Form Master section is when you first open the document
WORD defaults to that field and it's highlighted. Change the field at this point (to MSoft for example) then save the file and you'll see that the change takes.
The password I have used is:-
test
I hope that the above is helpful.

Office 2013 ActiveX Controls not working

Hello,
We have two users that are not able to interact with any ActiveX controls in a Word document. When they try to put a check mark in a check box, the whole object gets surrounded by a box like it does when you have it in design mode. Design mode is not
enables and double clicking the object does not bring up Visual Basic. This occurs no matter who is logged into the PC.
I have deleted all files that end in .exd and even ran the MS Fix it tool that does the same. I ran the Office repair tool, both quick and online, and even uninstalled office and re-installed it. None of this
has fixed the issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
Try deleting one of the checkboxes and place a new one see if it will work then. Or do set the form in design mode, save the document, open it again and place it back in form mode then try again. Do you have code behind the document?

How to create ActiveX Control in LabWindows/CVI 2010

I have LabWindows/CVI 2010 Full Development System (Debug Only) installed on a stand alone PC with Windows 7 (64bit). Also I have Matlab (R2011a) (also 64bit) installed on this PC. I tried to use "Create ActiveX Controller" under ""Tools". I can locate the "Matlab Application (version 7.12) Type Library" in the ActiveX Controller Wizard. After click "next", I got a message "The Type Library is not intended for use on Win32". My questions are:
1) Is my LabWindows/CVI 32bit or 64bit?
2) How to create my Matlab ActiveX Control?
Thank you.

Hi JGS,
It means that you cannot use 64 bit libraries in CVI ti create Activex controls since CVI is a 32 bit application. You can however create 64 bit dlls, executables and static libraries. Here is a link to some information:

No longer able to insert ActiveX controls or use existing ActiveX controls in Word documents

Using Word 2010 32bit on Windows 7.1 64bit OS.
I have a document with several ActiveX controls that I use as a template to generate new documents. This morning I installed the monthly roll-out of Windows/MS Office updates and then rebooted. After rebooting, when I opened my Word document,
I could not use the controls.
As far as I can tell, the controls are not disabled in security but are actually not recognized. If I go into Developer Mode and open the Properties from the context menu on one of the ActiveX controls, the Properties dialog opens but shows properties
for the main document and not for the control. If I try to drop a new ActiveX control in a blank document, I get the following message from Microsoft Word: "The program used to create this object is Forms. That program is either not installed
on your computer or it is not responding. To edit this object, install Forms or ensure that any dialog boxes in Forms are closed." I have not been able to find any information on a program called "Forms". Is this some component
of Word that has been corrupted?
I don't think there is any problem with the actual document because I can still open and use it on another machine running Word 2010 (where the latest updates have not been installed).

Among the monthly updates for March 2015 is a series of updates that should correct the problem. Use Windows Update to get them.

Issue with Staple option in Office 2010

We are having issue with printing with staple in Office 2010. We have Ricoh follow-me printing setup with 2 printer queue B&W and Colour. When select print in Word using Colour, we can
see the staples option.
But this option disappear if we use B&W queue.
We have checked printer driver and logged a job with Ricoh. Here is what we have from Ricoh. We are using Office 2010 14.0.6029.1
"Yes I can see below you have set it up correctly for both machines.
Seems to me that Office is not displaying that option which is unrelated to what driver you are using. Both the drivers are the PCL6 version and the finisher has the staple functions enabled
so in theory it should display the staple option for both print queues.
You will need to query Microsoft about this one because as far as I can see there is no fault with the way you have the Ricoh drivers installed or the machine itself. "
Any idea?
Cheers,

This is an issue between Ricoh and Microsoft. Ricoh should not be trying to shuffle it off to you. The support person is an idiot and you need to escalate it with Ricoh. Since all of the print settings are controlled by the print driver from Ricoh, if
this is really a Microsoft problem, the developers at Ricoh should acknowledge in writing that they have filed a bug report with Microsoft.

Problem with report generation toolkit when installed new office 2010

Dear all, I had LabView 8.6.1 and report generation toolkit for MSoffice 2003 perfectly working in my laptop.
Now I have added MSoffice 2010 and report generation toolkit does not work anymore since it is linked to new office.
How can I inform Labview to link report generation toolkit to the old MSoffice 2003?
regards
Max

The Report Generation Toolkit is ActiveX based. When you install the newest version of Office it registers the ActiveX server for that software, which the toolkit adapts to and uses.
Uninstalling Office 2010 would solve the issue, otherwise you will need to look at unregistering the 2010 component of Office ActiveX - but I'm not sure if that's possible.
