I'm in a similar situation, trying to get an "old" database running. I have a
new, clean XP installation, on top of which I installed Office Professional
2007 (which includes Access). I did those installs yesterday, then tried to
install the database.

So now I get the same error message. I'm missing exactly the same file,
VSFLEX3.OCX. As far as I can tell, it's not on my computer anywhere. A google
search for the file name yields several places that claim I can download the
file from them, but why should I trust those sites?

If not, how do I acquire that file? Thanks for any help you can provide.

That only works AFTER the component is registered. Which is done
