VB6 program not running on Win XP Platform

[rcarrillo]

I have a program that was built using VB6. It stores and retrieves data using SQL Server, and uses Access 97 to display reports. The program works fine on Win NT platforms, but the Report functionality does not work when using the program on an XP platform. I thought this might have something to do with DAO Ojects and Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects, but I uninstalled Access 2003 and installed Access 97, and the Reports still does not work. I get the following error:

Run-time error '432':

Filename or class name not found during

Automation operation

I found the DAO360.dll file and registered it in the Programs/Common files/Microsoft Shared/DAO directory, but I still get the same error. Anybody have any ideas as far as what I can do?

Thanks,

did you ensure the vb6 runtime files are installed in XP? it sound as if a DLL is missing (dont know which eactly, i program in c/c++ so dont get those problems)

[rcarrillo]

Thanks for the quick reply. I did ensure that the run time files were installed. As a precaution, I copied the files again, the report functionality still did not work and had the same error as before.

If you're sure all of your .dll's are registered (and it sounds like they are), you might want to check the filename again, and make sure you've included the full path to it (or at least are checking the path when you start up). Unless you are actually trying to launch a COM object that no longer exists or isn't registered, it's going to be the filename tripping you up.
