Re: Creating a com Addin for office 2000

Hi Ken,

Thanks for your great help.
I installed vb 6 on win 98 machine with office 2000 to create a new setup.I
didn't do it yet but I start to debug the code and I realized that one of the
stored procedure which has an output parameter of bigint type returns an
error .
The error description was "The type name is illegal" the error number:
-2147217872.
In the vb code the type of the output parameter was adBigInt.
I chabged the type to adInteger and the code runs perfect.
The previous code with adBigInt runs perfect on machines with win 2000 or
later and office 2003 but in this machine(win 98 machine with office 2000 ) I
had to change the type to adInteger. Other code that use other stored
procedures work good on this machine.
Why is the difference between those machines ?

Thanks,

David

Hi,

I created a com addin with vb6 package and deployment wizard while I have
on
the development pc office 2003. When I run the setup.exe on target
machines
which have office 2003 the com addin works perfect but when I install it
on
machines which have office 2000 the installation ends succesfully but the
addin doesn't work.
How can I create a com addin with vb 6 for target machines whith office
2000
while I have on my development pc office 2003.
( In the organization some employees have office 2003 and others office
2000).
In the vb6 project I have reference for these files:
Visual basic for applications
visual basic runtime objects and procedures
visual basic objects and procedures
OLE Automation
Microsoft Add-In Designer
Microsoft Outlook 9.0 Object Library
Microsoft Office 11.0 Object Library
Microsoft Excel 11.0 Object Library
Microsoft Activex Data Objects 2.7 Library

Thanks,

David
