Problem is solved. I needed to copy the ADODB.DLL to the laptop and place it in the same folder as the exe. I guess I thought that the .DLL would have been part of the installation of Framework 1.1 on the laptop. It is not.

Can someone either confirm this behavior or give me a way to solve problem. I posted this question before but got an answer that did not solve problem. Below are the exact steps that I performed from start of project to receipt of error.

At this point I get "Application has generated...." error.
