If you click More Controls on the Control Toolbox toolbar and do not see the control (control: A graphical user interface object, such as a text box, check box, scroll bar, or command button, that lets users control the program. You use controls to display data or choices, perform an action, or make the user interface easier to read.) you want in the list, the control may not be registered. This can occur if you copied the Microsoft ActiveX control (ActiveX control: A control, such as a check box or button that offers options to users or runs macros or scripts that automate a task. You can write macros for the control in Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications or scripts in Microsoft Script Editor.) (a file with an .ocx or .dll extension) from an installation disk or the network without using the Setup program that is associated with the control.

Security  Use caution when you are adding ActiveX controls to your form. ActiveX controls may be designed in such a way that their use could pose a security risk. We recommend that you use controls from trusted sources only.

To register the control:

1. On the Control Toolbox toolbar, click More Controls .
2. At the bottom of the list, click Register Custom Control.
3. Select the control you want to register, and then click Open.
