Gaining Remote Access to Microsoft Access with RDO - Visual Basic Application

(Page 4 of 5 )

Adding a MSRDC Activex Control to tool box

Start the Visual Basic Program (VB 6.0) on the Hodentek machine. Create a project, RemoteAccess.vbp, and add a form to it. Follow Project-->Components from the main menu to open up the Components window with three tabs, Controls, Designers, Insertable Objects. In the Controls tabbed page scroll down to place a check mark for the Microsoft RemoteData Control 6.0 as shown, and a check mark for Selected Items Only, and click OK. This adds the ActiveX control MSRDC20.OCX to the tool box, a small icon with an antennae which shows 'MSRDC' when you hover over the icon.
