I have written a database project in vb using an Access97 database but when I install and run it on a machine which does not have Ms Office installed, it opens (Shows up in task manager) but is not displayed on screen. Why is this ?

I have used the package and deployment wizard to create my setup and have added all the Jet files which it listed but it made no difference. Also, If I leave the file expsrv.dll checked during the wizard then I get an error while it tries to register it during the install. Is this related to my problem. This error seems to happen on every single machine I have tried to install my app on and the setup I made has been done after many re-installs of Win98 & 2000 pro.

Please help !
