I am using CR8 designer in my VB6 project to export the reports, it works perfect on my machine. I have installed the VB6 Project(executable file) on my clients machine and I am getting an error when they are trying export the report. The message they are getting is "Can't create ACTIVEX Component'429'". I am not sure what to load or any other alternative to be made to my client machines. Your help is much appreciated.


Thanks in advance.
 
You have one of the following problems: Missing or corrupt or can't find a .dll, ActiveX isn't registered on their machine, ActiveX requires a licens and it can't be found, the source code uses GetObject to obtain a reference to the class( this cannot be done VB)
 
We just worked through a similar problem with CR earlier. Here is the link: thread222-117674 if this helps any, If not let us know.
 
Hi woyler I have gone through the post and I understand what you have suggested but I am not sure how to do it. As you post reads ' Use: regsvr32 "C:\PathOfDll" ', do I have to RUN this command on my user machine or do I have to use it in the VB6 project it self?

Thanks for the HELP!!!
 
If you use VB's Package and Deployment for your application, it should register and install all necessary files(ocx/dll). Did you use Package and Deployment or did you just move the exe to the clients?
 
I have used the VB package and Deployment, but the repositry folder was Local Database folder(I am not sure if it makes any difference)

Thanks for your HELP.
