Default problems with additional controls

I suspect you have VB6 at work and therefore there is a design time license
installed. My understanding is that controls in Office VBA run in design
time, so you need a design time license to use those controls. The
suggestions I have seen are to wrap the control in a VB 6 DLL and use that
in your vba. Another option is to use the Windows API directly.

When trying to use common windows controls like progress bar, listview

etc.
from MSCOMCTL.OCX I get error message: "Control can not be created because
it is not properly licensed". Is it because I have WinXP? At work I do not
have this problem but there I have Win2k.

Thank you in advance.

Mike.
