Work has just had its first Windows 8 machine delivered and I am to test.
My first job is to test whether our effective but ancient MS Access with VBA frontend database works with it.
At first glance it doesn't, none of the OCX (32bit) files will register through syswow64 using the commands.
I have tried using 'Whosin' a free internet Database which seems to have a built in registration screen for 3 of the OCX files but I still don't know if they have registered.
Can anybody suggest anything? I am home now but can post the files which need registering when I get to work in the morning.
Any clues, help or preferably solutions will be much appreciated (by the way I have read an article saying Windows 8 doesn't have a registry which I find hard to believe).
Thanks for reading
