Run-time Error 429 Active X

[lilboi]

Hi guys,

I know you probably saw a lot of these questions but i can't use the search function for some reason.

Anyways, I'm getting this problem when I try to run the vb program after I compiled it to .exe.

My biggest hunch is it's this reference.

Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects 2.5 Library

It's a .tlb library. How can I test or unregister and re-register this? Or would there be better solutions?

i was gonna d/l the MDAC 2.8 but it said on the microsoft website that "Important Note: Don't install MDAC 2.6 or later on SQL Server 7.0 or 6.5 clustered installations; doing so will break your cluster." I have SQL Server 8.0 installed on the same computer. Which means I should stick with 2.5....although i see a 2.6 available in my references.

Thanks!

429 means that the exe can't find a file that it needs to run properly. Check your project references and ensure that all the referenced files exist on your target machine and that they are properly reistered with the OS. You may need to distribute the required files, ensure that you have permission to do so.

hi zemp, thanks for your reply.

I've checked the files. I found their location and I've deregistered them and have reregistered them.

what else can i do?

Make sure that the file version numbers are correct. Different versions might have different entry points.
