Thank you very much for the save. I am working in the same environment.

I ran an "Office Diagnostics..." and it fixed the issue.

In Infopath 2007: Help > Office Diagnostics...

At least I think this is the fix. I have been tinkering with my system in attempts to fix this. If it works for you please post here to confirm.

I think there might have been a new version of the ContactSelector.dll control installed somehow and Infopath 2007 didn't like it.

As stated in my original post the version of the control originally presented to me was 2.0. After the "fix" it now shows 1.0.

I've tried to add the contact selector to my dev environment. I follow the steps here:

http://blogs.msdn.com/b/infopath/archive/2007/02/28/using-the-contact-selector-control.aspx

But at step 4 I get:

CoCreateInstance failed to create the control.
- The control may not be properly installed or registered.
- The control may have missing dependencies.
- Only controls implemented as InProc servers (.DLL or .OCX) are supported.

My client machine (where I'm working with Infopath) is using Office 2007. I'm also working with a SharePoint 2010 server.

I'm working on a client machine and not the server so I don't think the SharePoint 2010 control would have been installed on my work machine.

I also noticed that in the article the control version is 1.0

But the dialog shows the control as Version 2.0.

Has anyone else experienced this?
