I'm in a similar situation, trying to get an "old" database running. I have a
new, clean XP installation, on top of which I installed Office Professional
2007 (which includes Access). I did those installs yesterday, then tried to
install the database.

So now I get the same error message. I'm missing exactly the same file,
VSFLEX3.OCX. As far as I can tell, it's not on my computer anywhere. A google
search for the file name yields several places that claim I can download the
file from them, but why should I trust those sites?

If not, how do I acquire that file? Thanks for any help you can provide.

Are you certain that you need it? If you go into References and uncheck that
ocx, what (if anything) fails to compile? I'm guessing it's a Flexgrid
control: is your application in fact using one?

That was an ingenious suggestion. I unchecked it and now everything seems to
be OK. Thanks!
