Hi,
I copied the error on Google and I came up with the following. You should do the same when you come across such problems.

----------------------------------------------
This problem can occur if the following conditions are true:
* The control is called from Visual Basic for Applications code by using the New CommonDialog command.
* The computer on which you are running the code has a run-time license instead of a design-time license for this control.
With a run-time license, you can load the control but you cannot create or insert it. The design-time license for this control that is included with the Microsoft Office 2000 Developer Edition, Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0, and Microsoft Visual Studio. It is not included with other versions of Microsoft Office 2000.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, wrap the control inside another control, such as a UserForm. To do this, follow these steps:
1. In the Visual Basic Editor, add a UserForm to your project.
2. Insert a common dialog control on the UserForm. For example, use the following code to call the common dialog control on the UserForm:
Sub test()
UserForm1.CommonDialog1.ShowOpen
End Sub

3. Save the workbook.
Becuase the control is wrapped in the UserForm and resides inside the project, you can now call it in run-time mode.

Do you have the Crystal runtime DLLs on your home PC?

Moving to Someone Do My Homework Please, aka General Computing.

i moderate in both meaningless drivel and this forum, i didnt move the thread here because i know how slow it is here and wanted you to get a little help anyway.

i was reading the other thread about this before i closed it. to register an activeX control, you need to open a DOS window and cd to the folder that the control's file is in(system or whatever)
then type regsvr32.exe myControl.ocx
or whatever the filename of the control or dll is.
not all have to be registered. just trying to help

The answer is COMPLETELY SIMPLE. I MEAN you shouldnt even begin to work with COM if you dont understand this one concept.
IF THE COM factory(CLASS) doesnt exist how can it be created. I mean if your making a piece of toast and you dont have bread its called butter and the knife errors when it wipes air!
Get my drift, go to an MS site for these questions.
BUT THE ANSWER IS INSTALL THE CRYSTAL REPORTS DLL ON YOUR SYSTEM.
In english: run the setup wizard on your computer at home

Sorry about the aggresiveness but ask your professor so people with career oriented questions can get help

It could be the Common Dialog Control (Comdlg32.ocx)
