Add an ActiveX control (OLE custom control) to a form, report, or data access page

1. Open a form in Design view, a report in Design view, or a data access page in Design view.
   
   
2. Click the More Controls tool in the toolbox, and then click the control you want in the list.

   Note   If you've installed ActiveX controls with other applications, such as Microsoft Excel, those controls will show up if you click the More Controls tool in the toolbox or if you click the ActiveX Control command on the Insert menu. Some ActiveX controls may not work well with Microsoft Access, however. To see a list of controls that have been tested and verified with Microsoft Access, see the Readme file or contact the vendor for the control.

3. On the form, report, or data access page, click where you want to place the control.
   
   
4. Right-click the control, and then click Properties to open the ActiveX control property sheet.
   
   
5. Set properties as necessary.

   To get Help on any property, click the property in the property sheet, and then press F1.
