When you open a form or report in Design view, you may see more controls than those listed in this article when you click ActiveX Control on the Insert menu, or when you click More Controls on the Toolbox toolbar. However, those controls may not work correctly in Microsoft Access 2000.

You may also notice that Microsoft Office 2000 installs several Microsoft Forms 2.0 controls, which are listed in the Insert ActiveX Control dialog box. Although these ActiveX controls work in Microsoft Access 2000, the native Microsoft Access form and report controls provide more functionality and they function more quickly than their ActiveX equivalents.
