Dear Georg, FM 2.0 has been referenced in VBE for more than 15 years in the application and recently after downloading a windows update, the mentioned problem arose. Everything worked perfectly until the Windows 10 update was installed. We also tried reinstalling Windows 10 and the same thing happened. Everything worked until Windows downloaded an update, there was a problem with FM.2.0 and controls related to FM 2.0. It is clear that it is up to some Update. Microsoft has disabled FM 2.0 and has left no documentation on how to enable it if we need it.

So it's already set as a reference. Perhaps you can find more information relative to Forms 2.0 by searching for that term.

It may be possible to de-register and then re-register the dll. Search for articles on registering dll's.
You didn't specify which ActiveX control you have which is now not responding. Hard to know what that problem would be.

Actually, I'm wondering again. You are developing with Access 2007 yourself, correct?

    Dear Georg,
    1. Actual controls are Image as frame in which a set of images are used in various events, and there is no equivalent in the classic MS Access form, as well as the spin button. Both controls are part of MS Forms 2.0.
    2. Yes, it is an information system, not a single program. Everything is done in MS Access 2007 and it is very difficult to replace something in the system, let alone the whole system. So I need help on how to re-enable controls and FM 2.0. using the Registry database or by setting in Windows security polices or by uninstalling certain Windows updates.

    PS: It would be good if someone directly from Microsoft could help, because this is one of the Updates made by Microsoft itself, which created the problem. The irony is that I advised users to migrate from Windows 7 to Windows 10.

      Unfortunately, that's not an area I feel competent to dive into. If you do a search on registering dlls, you should find resources on that.
