Error 50003 Help Plz!!!

Hi Peeps,

This is only happening on Windows 7 and Windows Terminal Server 2008.

I have a VB6 SP6 application and the first thing in the Main sub it does is load a splash screen and then a standard form with a list control, picture control and two command buttons.

It loads the splash screen fine but when it trys to load the company form I get the error 50003. The code to load the form is :-

Code:

---

frmCompany.Show vbmodal

---

If I create a new form and show that instead it works fine so I removed all the code and controls from frmCompany but I still get the error. Can anyone please help, I don't understand how a new blank form works and my existing form stripped down to nothing does not.

Thanks for any help,

Jiggy!

Wow; I have managed to get passed this error and I thought I would share my results with yourselfs. It turned out to be an invalid icon for the frmCompany form so I removed it and it runs passed that form.

However when I come to load a form with a truegrid on I am getting msadodc.ocx is not correctly registered or missing.

Any ideas please?

Jiggy!

I think your msadodc.ocx is not correctly registered... or it is missing :)

Check the references for your project, is it listed as registered?
If it is, is the file where it says it should be?

One idea and one question.

1 Regarding failed registration, ensure you registered it with Admin privileges. There are several related, recent posts regarding your question. A simple search including the word Vista or Windows 7 and your error code should give you some results worth looking at. However, most will agree that the ADODC control is not very good (for lack of a better word) and you may want to do a quick google/topeka to see if it is even supported on Win7.

2. About that form icon. I am so curious. Could you post the icon that caused your original error? I'd surely like to download it and take a look -- more for my own curiosity than anything else.
