Activex cannot create object

[Gautam01]

I've created a buttonset component for browsing data in a form. When I press exit button on that, it executes the code:

unload usercontrol.parent

when usercontrol.parent is the form on which it is placed. Sometimes it shows error:

error '429': Activex cannot create object

what could be the cause for this?

Unload UserControl
Unload Form

Don't unload the UserControl container form before you unload the control.

Thx, checking this out. But how is that it occurs once in a while?

No. It didn't work.

When I put in exit_click()
unload usercontrol
unload usercontrol.parent
it gives compile error 'invalid use of base class'.

When I put in exit_click()
unload me
unload usercontrol.parent
it gives Run-time error '361': Can't load or unload this object

Get to a command prompt and use "regsvr32" (or is it "regsrv32" :confused: ) to register it.

Example:


regsvr32 MyControl.ocx


(I'm pretty sure it's "regsvr32".)

That should do it. I get that problem all the time. I found a little shell enhancement that lets me right-click and ActiveX object (whether its an OCX or DLL) and register it... SO much easier!
