All userform controls are "not" working

[JKwan]

I only recently found out with the problem, so I don't know when it started to happen..... I usually do all my work with my work laptop, now that I am retired, I am now using my own computer. I can add the textbox control onto my form it runs and all but if I try to move the text box, i get the above message, so I cannot move it.... However, if I use the Treeview control, it sort of works. It runs but if I try to add some nodes, it fails with an error saying that the property or method is not supported... Hopefully someone can give me an in sight as to how I may fix the problem. I checked the Treeview control, the DLL does exists in the listed folder.




I am using Office 2019 Professional

A number of userform controls do not work in 64 bit office, which I think you're using. This might have changed for some but IIRC TreeView was not one of them

Microsoft Windows Common Controls provide features like ListView, TreeView, and ImageList, which are partly necessary for the interface of OL [LookForDuplicates]. The filename of the corresponding control is mscomctl.ocx and it resides in the system32 folder.
You can download mscomctl.ocx directly from Microsoft.
After decompressing into C:\WINDOWS\system32\ you need to register the control by running
regsvr32 C:\WINDOWS\system32\MSCOMCTL.OCX
in the Windows Run dialog ([Win]+R). In order to be available for OL [LookForDuplicates], the library has to be loaded in Outlook according to the Installation guide.
Additionally, you can have a look at the Microsoft Download Center for an updated version of the control.
It should be noted that Microsoft Windows Common Controls are only available for 32-bit editions of Microsoft Office Outlook.[/QUOTE]

Hi Paul:
Thank you for the suggestions, however, I am using 32 bit office. Since this is my home PC, running 64 bit is too much of a hassle, so I am running 32 bit and I confirmed. I hope you can offer more suggestions.
I like to stress that ALL of the controls that I put into the form, they can be added and run (mostly), just if I try to move it, I get the "System cannot fine the file specified"!!????

The below thread seems to have some bits to try:

Thanks georgiboy. Reading the thread, the person seemed to have the same problem that I am having, the person seem to have the problem to go away after a reboot, as to myself, I am stuck with reboots. I have the problem even when I create a new form and drop controls on to the form, the form runs and resize and all, just does not let me move it..... I may have to live with it. To be honest, it is not that big of a deal, since I am just "playing" now.... Thank you again.
