    Cannot insert ActiveX Control

    I had an ActiveX toggle control that suddenly quit working on me. I deleted the control and tried to insert the control again. However, now excel will not allow me to insert any ActiveX control. I can insert form controls but nothing on ActiveX.

    Re: Cannot insert ActiveX Control

    browse to c:\users\your_user_name\appdata\local\temp\excel8.0 and delete MSForms.exd

    Back it up just in case, but I've deleted on a few machines, and all is well after that.

    Edit:
    May have to delete the .exd in c:\users\your_user_name\appdata\local\temp\vbe as well
    Close office apps before deleting.
