This is my first post, so hello to everybody.
My name's Bernard. I live in Thailand where I work as school administrator.
I'm not a pro. I got some fundamentals at the university (late 70s...) and use intensively VBA since 1995..
Three years ago, I wrote a comprehensive client/server application to cover school's operations.
The program is written in VB6 and uses ADODB and SQL the Jet version's 4.0.9514.
I'm facing an issue that many other people encountered according to the number of posts I could find. The program works fine on several computer but not on my secretary's. My computer and hers are both XP SP3 machines. The reason often given on the net refers to MDAC, both computers have MDAC 2.81. In the past, I could solve the problem by compiling the program on my computer at home. Unfortunately, I migrated to Windows 7 and cannot install MS VB6 on it anymore.
I removed two MDAC files from the setup, it doesn't help. (msadomd.dll and msadox.dll).
In VB6, I can find Microsoft Data Access 2.8, how can I check whether its the latest 2.81?-If this could be the problem?
You will tell me to migrate to .Net.
Yes I agree, but this means rewriting everything-about a thousand hours....
What should I do?
Thanks.
