Re: 525 Data Access Error - German Version of Windows

I know I am pretty late in asking this, but you posted in a "DAO" group but
it appears you are actually using ADO? Is this correct?

This a common problem when distributing a "com" application to computers in
the "wild". It is almost impossible to know exactly what is going on without
having the computer at hand. Extremely curious that your test app is so
simple - it seems impossible that it would fail so dramatically and not show
failure elsewhere as well. Since we know that dotNet beta has likely been
loaded then removed, one can only wonder what else might have been done on
these machines.

Sorry I wasn't of much help.

Ralph,
You have been more help than you know... what drives me crazy is that
it works on some machines and not on others... oh the life..

I am using the DAO data control.... I just rewrote my simple test to
use an ADO control. I hope to try that early Monday... I am really to
the point of saying it is either a local setting or the dao data
control is causing the problem. Of course, converting the app to ADO
is an incredible amount of work. It would be better to shift to .NET
before rewriting in VB6. It is my own fault for not moving to ADO
before. "if it ain't broke, don't fix it"

Now get this, she installed on another computer at her office in
Vicenza Italy this afternoon (German Speaking Firm) and absolutely no
problem. Working like a champ. The app works on American computers
and even Win Vista. GOD I HATE MY LIFE.

With your help, I think that I have my answer... I don't think paying
a consultant would do anything we have not discussed except verse the
consultant in the issue and have them say "don't do that!".

All my best... you have been a good backstop... I owe you one, if I
can ever help you. I do have a wide range of experience in VB.
