I'm a novice programmer, with one course under my belt. The manager at work has let me write some programs for work, mainly display and file management/movement programs. I've had an ongoing problem with running the programs I've written. They'll run on some machines, but won't on the rest of the machines in our production area.
I inevitably run into the "Runtime error 430" problem. I've tried copying all the files for the components I use writing the program over, but that didn't help. I had our tech support guys update the MDAC, but that didn't help. I tried updating the DCOM (with thanks to mmilan), but it tells me that I have to uninstall the old DCOM before I can install the new one -- but the procedure listed on the microsoft site tells me to go to a directory that doesn't exist on any of the machines I'm trying to fix.
Another reference on the internet calls for diving headfirst into the registry, which I'm extremely hesitant to do on work computers.
I had originally intended to write standalone programs (naive, I now realize), but now I'd just like to get the programs to work, period.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
