ActiveX component cant create object... 2

[mjonson]

when loading an access form the following
message appears:
ActiveX component cant create object

have tried
reinstalling office [many times]
installed dcom98.exe
installed dataacc.exe

is the solution to find which activex object is
being loaded and reregister using regsvr?
ne ideas

 

[mjonson]

...would repaintobject cause this error
if not properly reg'd

[nb. this is not my db]

Check the References. Sounds like one is "missing".

I am interested in finding out if and how you solve this problem. I have one computer that is experiencing the very same error message.

Hold the Shift key and click the Enter key to open the database. Click on the Modules tab then click the New button. With an open module goto Tools-References. This will show all references that are set for the database. Look to see if any are "missing", they will indicate missing if they are.

Generally I have gotten this type of error message when another database has been installed by someone else. If the ActiveX is a different version than the one used on your program it "might" give you problems.

I had this exact problem earlier today. Found this article on MS and it did the trick perfectly.

Microsoft Knowledge Base Article - 296205 - ACC: Error Message: ActiveX Component Can't Create Object

I had to register DAO by running the following from the command prompt.

regsvr32 "c:\program files\common files\microsoft shared\DAO\DAO350.dll"

Hope that helps.
