Common Dialog Box Doesn't work

Using MS Access 2000 with the Developer functions I've created a setup CD for installation on machines that don't have MS Access. Most of the program works but the Common Dialog Box produces a runtime error and won't open. I've check that all the dll and ocx files are being installed.
I can get it to work by installing the developer's CD on the new machine but I can't figure out why that makes it work. And I need to distribute this to other people.

If this is a licensing issue then is there another way to create a file open dilog box another way?
Thanks.
 
Could it be that in your setup option you forgot to tick/load Access runtime? Setup has to have either the full access loaded or the runtime installed in the user PC. Setup takes care of that if requested before setup compile.
 
Thanks Kanga35, but I made sure everything was included. The program wouldn't have even started to load if runtime hadn't been properly installed. All other features work. It's only the Common Dialog Box that gives me an error. Now I'm wondering if the installation program isn't properly registering one of the dll or ocx files.
