I'm trying to generate a report using a TreeView control in Excel 2002 (from
the Common Controls 5.0 library). It works fine on my development machine,
but I get a Missing Reference error on any other PC. All the PCs on which
I've tested the report have the exact same version of Office... not sure
what else to try. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,
Mike

The treeview control isn't distributed with Office and is not part of
office. If you have a license to distribute it, you can install it on the
other machines with your installation program.
 
Wow, that's pretty bad, to say the least.... I definitely wasn't aware that
the TreeView control required a separate license. If that's true, why is it
part of the Windows Common Controls library? Aside from the license issue,
do you know if it's possible to package that DLL and register it
automatically through VBA or VB.NET?

This article would indicate to me that controls hosted in Office Apps
require a design time license as since the apps run in design mode as
opposed to runtime mode. I could be wrong of course:

Of course, if you haven't gotten that error, then that isn't you problem.

this indicates that you may not require a design time license in later
versions beyond xl97 - so I can't say.
