Error 5000

[dburnham]

I have an application that was running fine on one system, however, the end user decided to use a different PC for the application months after the install. The user now receives the following message while trying to print reports.

Active Reports Error
Error 5000: Error in processing Report Extended Information.
Unrecognized data format "C:\Progress\CHITEST2.MDB

They are running MDAC version 2.1.3711.11(GA)

The PC that I developed the application on is not available to check its version from.

All help is appreciated

You do not say what version of Access your report is trying to be generated from, but it definately sounds like an mdac problem. Unless there is another piece of software running that will not allow you to update the MDAC, you should try version 2.6.

I've seen problems like this at 3 seperate clients sites and an update to the mdac corrected each one of them.
