Hi All,

I created a generic connection object called ConnRs.dll. I then created a
package using VB pkg and depl. wizard. Then I ran the package which has the
ConnRs.dll, and other files including the app exe file on the user's PC.
After a succesful install, the user runs the exe and the above subject
message comes up. The package was created and the exe was compiled using VB6
on XP Svc pk1. The user's PC had also the same OS.

I have surfed the web and have found no solution. Can some one please help
ASAP?

BTW, if I move the source code to the user's PC and compile it and then run
it I do not get the message?

Thanks

HB

Did the setup package include the database support dlls? MDAC? Are you using
Binary Compatibility on the DLL you built?

Yes to all ur queries. I finally got it working. For existing users who
already have the application installed, all I need to do is put the custom
dll object inside the application folder and not the system32 folder. Then
register it from the app. folder. This is because with XP, the network staff
has limited the user's read/write/update/modify rights to the Program Files
folder only. So, when the ActiveX dll tries to instantiate it can't because
lack of permission on the system32 folder. Now for the users who never had
this application installed, the network
admin will have to log on as him/her self and update the files the VB run
time files.

Thanks
