SYMPTOMS
In the programs listed at the beginning of this article, it is not possible to customize the Toolbox in the Visual Basic Editor.



RESOLUTION
You can only use the following controls, which are included in the Toolbox by default:   Label          CommandButton TextBox       TabStrip ComboBox      MultiPage ListBox       ScrollBar CheckBox      SpinButton OptionButton  Image ToggleButton  RefEdit Frame



STATUS
This behavior is by design of the Visual Basic Editor in the programs listed at the beginning of this article.



MORE INFORMATION
You can use the Toolbox to insert controls into a custom UserForm. The Toolbox appears automatically whenever you create a new UserForm; you can also display the Toolbox by clicking Toolbox on the View menu.

In the programs included in Microsoft Office 97 for Windows, you can customize the Toolbox by right-clicking inside the Toolbox. Using this method, you can add additional controls, delete existing controls, and create, import, and export "pages" of controls that are grouped by function, name, and so on.

Because ActiveX controls (OCXs) are not supported on the Macintosh, these features are not available in the programs included in Microsoft Office 98 Macintosh Edition. You can only use the controls that are included with the programs.
