    Re: Microsoft Jet Database Engine could not find object databases.

    following lines are used to connect with database through a vb application. used this database severally for inserion and retrieval of data but after some days it gives the error mentioned above.

    Public db As New ADODB.Connection
    Public ers As New ADODB.Recordset

    Private Sub makeConnection()
    db.CursorLocation = adUseClient

    db.Open "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source= " & App.Path & "\PakistanProperty.mdb ;Persist Security Info=False"

    de.Connection1 = db

    End Sub

    Your connection string is wrong .try the following way !

    Code:
    Public db As New ADODB.Connection 
    Public ers As New ADODB.Recordset
    
    Private Sub makeConnection()
    db.CursorLocation = adUseClient
    
    db.Open "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source= " & App.Path & "\" & PakistanProperty.mdb ;Persist Security Info=False
    
    de.Connection1 = db why did you use this line ?
    
    End Sub

    Re: Microsoft Jet Database Engine could not find object databases.

    firoz - first there was nothing wrong with the connection string... in fact, your version only compounds the problem as it leaves half of it out of the string that it needs to be in.
    secondly, that line you questioned, is setting the connection of the DataEnvironment of the app...

    which makes me wonder...

    1) The error in question, doesn't jive with the code provided. Somewhere in your code you've used the object databases... but it's not in the code posted so far... so it's somewhere else.
    2) What's with the use of the DataEnvironment?

    kindly note that the error only comes during execution after deployment but not during coding.

    Re: Microsoft Jet Database Engine could not find object databases.

    There might be something wrong with your distribution package however since I'm not familiar with INNO I would recommend checking this with someone at Application Deployment forum.

    Re: Microsoft Jet Database Engine could not find object databases.

    This may be a silly question, but have you checked that the Database has been installed into the same folder as the program?

    Re: Microsoft Jet Database Engine could not find object databases.

    Doogle kindly read thread carefully and ys the database is in the same folder. Now i place a database that was copied earlier for its backup and it work fine. but whenever i ammend the database by adding new column and even data during coding it doesnt work after installation of setup.

    I think I have. There's no mention that you'd checked that anywhere.

    The question boils down to what the Object "databases" is. So where in your code do you define and use 'databases' ?

    Re: Microsoft Jet Database Engine could not find object databases.

    there is no object 'databases' in the code. i also found during search that error like the microsoft jet database engine could not find the object 'msysdb' and i think it doesnt mean that the object 'msysdb' was rightly used in the code.

    Re: Microsoft Jet Database Engine could not find object databases.

    Haing Googled around for the error message it seems that this message indicates that the Database is corrupted. You could try a 'Compact and Repair' on it.
