[RESOLVED] Viewing a Report from Access

I have a pretty simple app. that allows end users to write to an Access 2000 databases and view all current records. THe one piece of functionality that is not working involves view a report via Data Report Designer. The problem happens when trying to run the Setup.exe file that was created by the Package and Deployment wizard. The problem will occurr on a machine that does not have a full install of Access 2000, just the run time version. It works just fine on machines with the full install present. The error message that is received is the following:
Click here to begin setup:Setup1.exe - Unable to locate component
This application has failed to start because GWExt.dll was not found.
Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.
From what I can find, this dll is associated with Groupwise.
Next error message after clicking OK:
An error occurred while registering the file 'C:\Windwos\System32\
gwdpk.ocx.
Anyone familiar with either of these error messages? Have not been able to find anything on the web as of yet. Thanks for the help.

As this is more a deployment question than a reporting question, this has been moved to Application Deployment.

Welcome to the forums. :wave:

If your application does not need that Groupwise .dll then edit your installation package and try and remove its reference.

As far as being unable to register the .ocx (the name of the .ocx is unfamiliar to me), I would suggest trying to manually register it using Regsvr32.

Unable to find any references to Groupwise in the application. When I try to register the *.ocx file with RegSvr32 'dll Path', I get an error message that the "Load library failed" and "The specified module could not be found". I think I am going to throw the towel in on this one and try to write it to a spreadsheet. Low and behold, I am getting an error here too. Unable to set up the Data Environment to view a spreadsheet. I get an error message that the database format is not supported. I will post this issue in the proper forum. If you have any suggestions, please let me know. Otherwise, I will go ahead and resolve this issue. Thanks again for the help Hack.

udayton1128,

Sounds like you have multiple problems, One maybe with needing MDAC installed and another with a reference. You will have to research and find why the reference is included.

You could use InnoScrpt as a tool to find out where this reference is in your project by running it on your project then looking in the debug log for that dll name. it will tell you which dll is referencing it. Then if you can find out the top level dll that is referencing it and either eliminate it or make sure you have all that is needed to get your app working.

Thanks Hack and Randem. I will try both of these. I will also colse this issue out.
