Can't assign listview to variable?

[mrfrisky330]

For some strange reason Access won't allow me to assign a variable to a listview:



Dim lvTemp As MSComctlLib.ListView

Set lvTemp = Me.LVResults


Returns "type mismatch" error???

Re-created the database from scratch added the Listview from the activex control list which added reference:
Microsoft Windows Common Controls 6.0 (SP3) - file: mscomctl.ocx

The listview works fine no issues adding stuff to it, but everytime I try and assign it to a control (so I can get the HWND of it) I get a "Type Mismatch" error.


How is this possible if Access adds the reference itself? Also if I just type:

Dim lvTemp as ListView

I get the same error message.....!

you dont really have to if you have: Me.LVResults

why make another copy?

Can't see the HWND property in Access 2000 by just typing LVResults.
In these older version we need to assign a variable to the Listview in order to see its actual properties e.g. listitems, for some reason Access won't do it!
