Re: VB6 app crashes on XP

Thanks, John. I tried MDAC changes but that didn't correct it, so that gives me another place to turn. I have a question though. If I update the MDAC or the Jet 4.0, do I have to re-compile the VB6 app? In other words, does the MDAC and Jet version affect the executable that is built?

No you don't have to re-compile but yes the MDAC and Jet versions definitely influence the application's behavior.


Couple of questions will help identify the issue:

- when you say the app crashes what does it do exactly?
- is the installation of the app being done by a user with Administrator privilege?
- what users are logged in when the app crashes?

XP permissions are done a bit differently than Windows 2000 so that's where I'm going with these questions. Anyone running the application will need Change/Modify permissions to the folder where the application is installed.
