Hello,
I have added "Microsoft Forms 2.0 Object Library" as a component to my
project for Unicode support.
However, when trying to load any of it's controls I have that error:
System Error &H80070057 "The parameter is incorrect"
Is it something to do with my Windows XP PRO?
Thanks,
Jack

No, MSForms is not supported, nor intended, to be used in VB. It is intended for VBA in Office and VBA-enabled apps only.

There are MANY problems using MSForms in VB. Figure out some other way to provide the unicode support you need.

Thank you, Mike.
My project is finished already.
Now I am trying to add Unicode support to it.
I need to display Unicode on 2 controls only:
command button (or checkbox if it is easier) and the textbox.
What method you suggest?
Thanks,
Jack

I don't think there's ever been anything close to "conventional wisdom" on that
question. There's a bunch of stuff out there, and apparently nothing so outstanding
everyone agrees on it. To give you sense...

Karl, I am browsing that google link already for the few hours.
What I can see are just activeX components (shareware for $899 !!!).
