    Re: Method of object Failed

    HERE IS WHAT I FOUND

    SYMPTOMS
    When you attempt to run simple ActiveX Data Objects (ADO) code in an
    application, the following error can occur:


    "Method '~' of Object '~' Failed"


    CAUSE
    The most common cause for this error is mismatched DLL files with Microsoft
    Data Access Components (MDAC).


    RESOLUTION
    To work around this problem:


    a.. Make sure to install the appropriate Mdac_type.exe file that matches
    the same version you developed with your application. You can find the file
    at:
    http://www.microsoft.com/data/download.htm
    b.. If you are using a Microsoft Windows 9x computer, install the latest
    DCOM version from:
    http://www.microsoft.com/com/resources/downloads.asp
    c.. If you are deploying this application, be sure to use the Package and
    Deployment Wizard and distribute the correct Mdac_typ.exe file version. Also
    make sure that the computer is restarted after MDAC installation unless you
    are explicitly implementing a silent install.


    d.. If you are still having problems, obtain the Component Checker to
    remove MDAC and install it again. The Component Checker can be obtained at:
    http://www.microsoft.com/data/download.htm


    MORE INFORMATION
    Although this error has not been consistently reproduced, the items in the
    "Resolution" section appear to be effective in correcting the problem.


    The preceding error is only one of the ways that mismatched DLLs may
    manifest themselves. A different error may occur. The component checker
    mentioned in the Resolution section will help determine if there are
    mismatched DLLs.

    PRB: Unexpected Errors Using OLE DB Provider for SQL Server
    ID: Q193339


    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------*-
    ----
    The information in this article applies to:


    a.. Microsoft ODBC Driver for SQL Server, version 3.6
    b.. Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server, version 7.0
    c.. Microsoft Visual Basic Enterprise Edition for Windows, version 6.0
    d.. Microsoft Data Access Components versions 2.5, 2.6


    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------*-
    ----


    SYMPTOMS
    Visual Studio 6.0 and the Data Access 2.0 Software Development Kit (SDK)
    both install a version of the SQL Server ODBC Driver (and OLE DB Provider)
    that is more current than the file found in the latest SQL Server Service
    Pack. Additionally, neither setup invokes the Instcat.sql script that is
    needed to finish configuration of the SQL Server driver/provider. This
    creates unexpected errors in various products at different times.


    For example, using the Visual Basic 6.0 Data Environment for connecting to
    SQL Server with the OLE DB Provider may cause an error. When you drag a
    table from the data view to the design window of a command, the following
    error occurs:


    Query Designer encountered a MS Design Tools error:
    Unspecified error.
    When you click OK, you see another error:
    Method '~' of object '~' failed"
    Click OK again and repeat the operation. This time the operation is
    successful.


    CAUSE
    When a new version of the SQL Server ODBC Driver is installed by a SQL
    Server Service Pack (or by SQL Server), the Instcat.sql executes and helps
    configure the driver for operation. The SQL Server OLE DB Provider has the
    same dependency upon the execution of the Instcat.sql as the SQL Server ODBC
    Driver. Visual Basic 6.0, when installing either driver or provider, does
    not execute the Instcat.sql file, which then causes the preceding errors.


    The latest SQL Server Service Pack is Service Pack 4. However, the version
    of the SQL Server ODBC Driver (3.60.0319) shipped with Visual Studio 6.0 and
    the Data Access Software Development Kit (SDK) 2.0 is newer than what is
    found in SQL Server 6.5 Service Pack 4.


    RESOLUTION
    To work around this problem, run the Instcat.sql file from your SQL Server.
    Instcat.sql is installed but not executed by Visual Studio 6.0 and the Data
    Access SDK 2.0. You may have more than one Instcat.sql file on your computer
    in different sub-directories. Make sure that you execute the file dated
    6/5/98 or later.


    STATUS
    This behavior is by design.


    MORE INFORMATION
    If you are uncertain whether the latest Instcat.sql has been executed with
    your SQL Server, you can execute the sp_server_info system stored procedure
    with one parameter = 500. From ISQL run the following line in a new query:


    sp_server_info 500
    If the latest Instcat.sql dated 6/5/98 has been run, you should see the
    following information display:


    attribute_id attribute_name attribute_value
    ---------------------------------------------------


    500 SYS_SPROC_VERSION 7.00.481
    If 6.50.193 is listed in the attribute_value column, the latest file has not
    been executed.
    Steps to Reproduce Behavior
    1.. Start new Standard .exe project in Visual Basic 6.0 and add a
    DataEnvironment.


    2.. Add a connection and select the Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL
    Server.


    3.. Select or enter the appropriate values needed to make a connection
    such as server name, user name, password and database name. Select the Pubs
    database to test your connection.


    4.. Add a Command Object and click the General tab. Select SQL statement
    and then click the SQL Builder... button.


    5.. Expand the Tables node in the Data View window.


    6.. Drag one of the tables into the Command design window. The errors
    occur.


    7.. Repeat step 6, and this time the errors do not occur.


    8.. Stop your program.


    9.. Start your Microsoft SQL Enterprise Manager and run the Instcat.sql
    file from ISQL. During the execution of this file, you may see different
    error messages display. You can ignore these messages.


    10.. Run RECONFIGURE in a new query from ISQL. This is necessary to update
    your server.


    11.. Now, repeat steps 1 - 6. The errors do not occur.

    PRB: CDONTS Application Running in MTS Fails:"Error 800900d"
    ID: Q235541


    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------*-
    ----
    The information in this article applies to:


    a.. Collaboration Data Objects (CDO) for NTS, version 1.2


    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------*-
    ----


    SYMPTOMS
    When you run a CDONTS application implemented as a DLL in a Microsoft
    Transaction Server (MTS) package, the following error message is returned
    from the Send method of the CDONTS library:


    "Send method error '8009000d' method '~' of object '~' failed
    /test/default.asp"
    This error message occurs when you run the CDONTS application on a computer
    running Windows NT 4.0 SP3 (with Option Pack) and Internet Explorer 4.01
    SP1.


    CAUSE
    Because no user is logged on to the computer, it is impossible to open a
    security profile.


    RESOLUTION
    Any of the following three methods can be used as a workaround for the
    problem:


    1.. Follow the steps outlined in this Knowledge Base article:
    Q223435 Err Msg: Error Code -2146893811 0x8009000D 'Key Does Not Exist'


    2.. Change the package activation from "Server" to "Library" on the
    Activation tab of the MTS package.


    3.. Associate the Windows NT account running the MTS package to a running
    service that is run automatically at startup.


    MORE INFORMATION


    Steps to Reproduce Behavior
    1.. Create a new MTS package called "test".


    2.. Create a new user and specify a password. Set the package to run under
    that account.


    3.. Add the Visual Basic run-time files to the MTS Server (required step
    for the test application you create in the next step.)


    4.. Create a DLL in Visual Basic that uses the Send method of the CDONTS
    Newmail object.


    5.. Create a new virtual directory called "Test" and add an ASP file that
    instantiates the Visual Basic DLL and calls one of its methods. This virtual
    directory is set up as an IIS application.


    6.. Browse the ASP file in that virtual directory. You receive the
    following error message:


    "Send method error '8009000d' method '~' of object '~' failed
    /test/default.asp"

    Re: Method of object Failed

    if you use excel form previous time, that may be is this reasons. May be this excel form is not close nicely and still have exe application in process (you can go to task manager and click processes tab, you can find an application called "EXCEL.EXE") , you can close this process and try again your programme. Problem may be can fixed.
