error starting VB

Hi,

When I start VB, I get the following message

Can't find file DAO350.dll

and then VB Quits.

I know I have DAO on my computer. Last night, the computer was working fine. I came to work this morning and I get this.

I've never seen this before. Any ideas?

Thanks,

is this starting VB or are you trying to start it by opening a vbp file?

Manually register the dll on the system and see if that helps.

also.. where is your dao350.dll located.. mine is @
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\DAO

files in the dir for me are
dao2532.tlb
Dao2535.tlb
Dao3032.dll
dao350.dll
dao360.dll

It seems that after I ran a program that uses DAO, VB started fine afterwards.

Weird,

Thanks.

:D

ya know i used to like them (2 and 3) now the Japanese have just gotten too weird with them.. i liked when they were actual fantasy lands with kinghts and castles and airships.. now they all take place in the future and have guns and what not... even 7 on psx was ok... but after that i think they went kinda downhill.... never played 9 though.. i heard that went more back to their roots... i have X for PS2 and never really could get into it

Hai ,

I strucked with the same problem what vbgladiator stated here (i.e) when i try to start the VB or the project i am getting the following error.

Can't find file DAO350.dll

I don't have any application to run which uses DAO, can any one help me regarding this thank you.

The file DAO350.DLL is located in the following directory

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\DAO\DAO350.DLL

i tried by registering it manually by giving the below command in the Run box

regsvr32 C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\DAO\DAO350.DLL

LoadLibrary("C:\Program")failed - The specified module could not be found.'


Can any one please help me

Chock.

you get it when you start VB all by iteself? or only when you open a specific project?

Hai,

Thankyou for your quick responses.

In both ways i am getting the same error,

1. When i Open the VB
2. When i Open the Project by double click.

I also edited my previous post and added the error when i try to register the Dll manually, kindly also check that. Yesterday i UnInstalled a Software from my system. I think it removes the DAO350.DLL file, but the removed Software not related to VB6. If u have a application which uses DAO350.DLL, kindly post here, hope running the application can register the DLL properly and after the VB6 could start without the error.

Thankyou,
Chock.

Put double quotes around the path when you try to register it:

Start --> Run
regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\DAO\DAO350.DLL"

If you guys don't find a solution, Run the Automatic OS Updater it will put those pesky little files back.

Look in my signature for it.

Hi,

Frans C: Putting double quotest around the path register the dll file properly.


Randem: It needs Admin previlleges, so i need to install with the help of an Admin. Anyhow i will install it for updation.


Thankyou for your replies.

Thankyou,
Chock.
