Flexigrid worked in Access 2000 but not under Windows 7 and not Access 2010

#1

I am learning that using Activex controls in Access is NOT a good idea!
I need to display data from several queries in a grid with both row and column sizes determined by the query results.
This worked in Access 2000 by populating a Flexigrid control on a form. Windows 7 and Access 2010 refuse to have anything to do with the flexigrid controls!
What alternatives do I have, barring creating a new table and re-designing the form 'on the hoof' to accomodate its fields?
Sorry if this is a really silly question but I am entirely self-taught in Access.

Perhaps this will point you towards a solution?

Recent Microsoft updates have set the killbits for many of the ActiveX
controls. You need to download and install the newer versions of those
controls:

A more sensible approach, in my opinion, would be to re-engineer
your app to not have dependencies on non-native ActiveX controls.
