title: Microsoft flexgrid Control : Run-time error '438' Object doesnt support this property or method
body: <p>I am maintaining a legacy Microsoft Access application that is using the <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa228849(v=VS.60).aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Microsoft Flexgrid 6.0</a>. It recently started causing the following error:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Run-time error '438' Object doesn't
    support this property or method</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>People say that this error can be caused by the <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/advisory/960715.mspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">KB960715</a> security update being applied, which sets killbits on various ActiveX control methods which were deemed a security risk. But this or no other security update has been applied recently.</p>
  
  <p>Others say that installing <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=cb824e35-0403-45c4-9e41-459f0eb89e36&amp;displaylang=en" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 Service Pack 6 Cumulative Update</a>  will update the flex grid. This requires VB6 to be installed as a prerequisite so I installed that on my PC and then the update, and retrieved the updated MsFlxGrd.ocx file(Version: 6.1.98.12) and copied to the application machine, but the error still prevails.</p>
  
  <p>Someone <a href="http://www.developersdex.com/vb/message.asp?p=640&amp;r=6570804" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a> says you can disable the killbit in the registry. But there are afew hundred nodes in the location they suggest, none of which has the same guid as the one they point out.</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas?</p>
