Hello Visio people I have a product, ControlDraw, which is a diagram based modelling system. People seem to want Visio output, so I am looking into ways to export the diagrams as Visio files. ControlDraw models are databases (Access) and they contain tables and records that define each object...

My customer tried running the Jet4 service pack, but his system said there was no need to run it as the Service Pack of his system was newer. My test program already tests that it can create a database in code, which works Sub maketestDB() '********************** On Error Resume Next Dim...

As the PC's are in aother country I do not get my hands on them unfortunately. re "There were also some problems with a mix up ...." I guess i can modify my test program to check DAO3.51 - are you suggesting that the registration for DAO3.6 might somehow mean that DAO3.51 is being used instead...

Yes, Connect is "Access 2000" DAO 3.6 is referenced InstallShield, which i use for the Setup scans the VB6 source to determine dependencies etc and selects all the required merge modules. I have written a small test program which my customer run. It is very simple, it produces a report that...

Jet 4 and DAO3.6 are installed with the setup. As I said it works on most installations, the problem happens on just a few non English machines. Even the customers who have the problem have found that it works fine on a VM Ware virtual machine. I think it may be a Microsoft bug.

I have a program written with VB6, using DAO and Intrinsic Data control The Setup is written in InstallShield 2008 and includes the MDAC 2.6 merge models. Normally all works fine, but on some of my customers installations (German and Italian but not all of them) it fails as soon as the data...

Thank you very much I will try it out.

Thanks. Unfortnuately changing to ADO at this point is a huge effort.

Can anyone tell me how to set Page-Level Locking for an MDB (Access 2000) via VB6? I want to do this to optimise multiuser performance Thanks

My software, which has been in use for some years at several sites around the world has recently been prevented from working by Symantec Auto-Protect. It removes a small exe file that downloads a small text file. The software works without it but because the file is missing Windows Installer...

This is standard XP/Explorer behaviour, introduced with SP2 (I think, may be wrong) You can just click top the bar normally to allow installation of the ActiveX Or use Tools Options Security in Explorer to change the setting.

Zameer That is only about porting DAO and ADO - but I am still talking only about DAO Francis

appendChunk to get a bytestream into an OLE field I believe you would get around the problem" And indeed that works, thanks. In fact I was storing picture files in memo fields before, and was compressing them first (using ZLIB). It seems in DAO 3.51 the memo fields are treated differently to...

Thank you that explains a bit. Is there a Microsoft reference to this somewhere? More information - the data that I am putting in the memo fields is compressed, so I can't see why Chinese or other would make any difference. By the way am experimenting with changing to OLE fields instead of...
