dropdown listbox control problem

I am running MSAccess 2002 on a home XP system. When I try to add a "dropdown listbox" control to a form it pops up an information widow that informs me that "The constant you have entered for the control type is invalid." If I boink the "Help" button, I get a blank window and if I boink the OK button, I get a window informing me that "MS Office Access has encountered a problem and needs to close. etc." This is the only control that acts this way. Can anyone help me out with this?

Hello Eric,

I checked on the version of JET Database Engine and it was
the very latest (4.0.8618.0). I went ahead and did all
upgrades off of the Microsoft site that seemed to make any
sense at all and I still have the same problem.

Anything else I could try?

Thanks.
Dean

Hi,

You have the upgraded version of the Microsoft JET Database Engine.
Thereby, it maybe related to the Wizards.

- Try re-registering the file accwiz.dll
+ locate the file "accwiz.dll" via Windows explorer
+ Click Start > Run and type regsvr32 followed by a space
+ left click, drag and drop the above found file and place
next to what you typed
+ it should read something like the following
regsvr32 "<full path to to the file accwiz.dll>"
+ Click Ok (should receive message registered successfully)
+ Retest the wizard

- Try re-registering the file DAO360.dll (same as the other file)

- Replace the Wizard file (see: http://support.microsoft.com/?id=208307)
installed on your computer with copy from the CD

I hope this helps! If you have additional questions on this topic, please
