Thread Status: Not open for further replies. Advertisement Priscilla Thread Starter Joined: Nov 29, 1999 Messages: 102 When trying to save a form in Access 97, I got an "Automation Error" (with a "Catastrophic Failure", no less!), and there was no way I could save the form. I'm running Win2K, but I can remember running across this once waaay back in my Win95 days. I don't remember what the upshot was, and Microsquish's knowledge base isn't much help that I can see. Anyone have any idea what's going on here? Thanks.

This made the workbook "loose" reference to MSCOMCTL.OCX (quote marks on "loose", because the reference is still ticked but no longer works, the workbook doesn't compile because of "Compile error: Object library feature not supported" or "Automation error") It seems that the update modifies the registry key HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\TypeLib{831FDD16-0C5C-11D2-A9FC-000F8754DA1}\ by adding a SubKey 2.0, but leaves it empty, and doesn't register the new MSCOMCTL.OCX. Fixing the problem requires 3 steps: 1) MSCOMCTL.OCX. needs to be un-registered and re-registered (Start button/search/command/right click command prompt/run as admistirator: c:\Windows\system32>Regsvr32 /u C:\Windows\SysWOW64\MSCOMCTL.OCX c:\Windows\system32>Regsvr32 C:\Windows\SysWOW64\MSCOMCTL.OCX When registering the new MSCOMCTL.OCX (Version 6.1.98.46) via REGSVR32, a new key is added in the Registry: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
