Is there a native access version of the treeview?

I have a need to use the treeview control in a database I'm working on but I
do NOT want to deal with the activex registration issues if I can get around
it. Is there any control native to access that can be made to act the same?
I can go with 2 or 3 listboxes but that is just not as slick looking in a
finished application and it uses up too much space on the form.

I have used the treeview with nested recordsets in the past but that was on
a single user app so there was not a big issue in getting the control loaded.
The app I'm working on now will be used by 20+ people so I want to stay away
from the registration issues if I can.

forgot to add I'm using 2007.

No.
Create a setup program, which will install all required components.

The Wise installer is generally considered the best.

Some time ago, I did a demo using the TreeView. I did not have to load
anything "special", but do note that the sample includes two References that
are not "basic": Microsoft Office SP Web Components and Microsoft Windows
Common Controls v 6. As I often use the Windows Common Controls for file
selection, I suspect the TreeView is in the Microsoft Office XP Web
Components. If all your users have full Microsoft Office Pro installed, I
think there's a probability that they'll already have the Web Components
installed and you won't face ActiveX registration issues. (Caveat: But, that
may not be the case with all versions of Office.)

Oops, finger-fumble. The first reference should be

Microsoft Office XP Web Components
