Edward,

As I understand it (I found this on the MS site a few years ago but I
can't find it now, unfortunately), if you, as the developer, have the
license to add the control to a project then you can legally
distribute the control to your clients as part of the application.
After all, there would not be much point in providing this facility in
a project if your clients could not use it.

Of course, the control has to be registered on the client's PC when it
is installed but that is standard for any ActiveX control. You could
try and trawl through the MS Web site for further clarification but
this site is so vast it is almost impossible to find what you want
these days.

Sorry I can't be of more help than that, maybe someone else has more
specific knowledge of a reference on a Web page somewhere.

Thanks Peter. Further reading suggests that Flexgrid comes with
developer tools, so I do have the right to distribute it. However,
elsewhere I read that it's not supported within the Access
environment. I'll see what the client says.

Edward,

I aggree and I think the Web site I mentioned in my second post
confirms that.

Yes, the FlexGrid is not a native ActiveX control for Access but it
works just fine (except for a couple of facilities) as my demos
demonstrate so I don't think you will have any problems using it in an
Access environment. I have written several database apps using this
control, if you would like to see one just email me and I will send
you a copy.
