Sorry for the scatter-gun distribution but I am not sure where to best
direct this question.

I am using Microsoft Office 2003. Working with Word VBA

Looking at the references used by one of my Word Addins I notice that
it has a reference to the two OCX files below. They appear to be
different versions of the same general libraries. Does anyone know if
they are the same lib and which is the later one?

(Item 1)
Name: MSComctlLib
Description: Microsoft Windows Common Controls 6.0 (SP6)
FileName: MSCOMCTL.OCX

(Item 2)
Name: MSComCtl2
Description: Microsoft Windows Common Controls-2 6.0 (SP4)
FileName: mscomct2.ocx


Cheers
TonyS.

Dag Thanks.

It doesn't look like they are the cause of my problem anyway.

I will post separately on that.
