Automation error---[RESOLVED]

I am trying to call a procedure in a dll i have created, there are no errors i can see in the code but at runtime the error:

Runtime error '-2147024770 (8007007e)'
Automation error
The specified module could not be found.

is generated. WHY?

APP Code:

VB Code:

Private WithEvents mobjThread As ThreadProxy.DataSearches
 
Private Sub cmdNew_Click()
    Dim DBPath As String
    
'On Error GoTo ErrHandler
    
    DBPath = "test"
    
    mobjThread.NewSearch DBPath, 1, True, 20, True
 
    Exit Sub
'ErrHandler:
'    MsgBox "Error"
End Sub

Dll Code:

VB Code:

Public Sub NewSearch(ByVal sDBPath As String, ByVal sInt1 As Integer, ByVal sBool1 As Boolean, ByVal sInt2 As Integer, ByVal sBool2 As Boolean)
 'do stuff
End Sub

Did you register the dll?

Yes.

How do you setup you code to call the dll mobjThread? Sets, include it in you project etc...

i set the relationship on form load

VB Code:

Private Sub Form_Load()
    Set mobjThread = New ThreadProxy.DataSearches
    'rest of form load stuff
End Sub

You referenced the dll in your project?

Yes

What operating system are you using to create the executable and setup package ?

I was getting an automation error because one of my controls could not be registered correctly when creating the setup from WinXP.

Try building from Win98SE (clean version). It might work.

--hyperspaced

I am using Win2000, no errors have been reported, ether when i built the dll or registered it.

Sorry randem and hyperspaced, as hyperspaced suggested the dll hadn’t registered properly even though i could view the objects. I deleted the original and built the file again and all is now well. Thanks for the help.
