Hi!

Is it possible to use MS-Flex grid from VB6 in Access (2000 or 2002)?

You can try, but it's not supported. The list of supported controls is here:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;208283&Product=acc

Note that almost all of these controls ship with the Developer edition; any
other edition wouldn't have these avaiable for use. Access is notorious for
it's poor behaviour with ActiveX controls. However, I successfully use
several ActiveX controls in my distributed applications ... I have the GUI
pack from Mabry software that works particularly well.

There is a link to some sample code for MS Flex Grid at the
Access Compatible Grid Controls page

at my website.

You got some answers in this thread.

however, be aware that ms-access has a fabulous grid ability built in the
way of continues forms. Take a look at the following screen shots of grids
in ms-access.. These screens took very little code, and are actually
standard ms-access forms created with simple drag and drop.

Thank you all for good answers!

I have placed the Flex grid control i an Access form, but is still working
to populate it. The reason I want the Flex grid control is the ability to
drag and drop column, and the ability to automatic sort and group by the
column dropped to the left.
