Hi
I've written a program using VB 6.0 to query
a Access database. this program is working fine when database is present on hard disk. then i created a setup using Vb app. deployment wizard and i have included jet drivers in it.
then i put this setup and database on CD.
after installing the program from CD my program will search the CD ROM drive and open the database from CD but at this moment i am getting a error 429 ActiveX can't create object.
so please tell me to run this program which softwares are required on client machine.
microsoft access is required or not?
what are the files that i have to bundle with my software for data access.

You mentioned that the PDW has included the Jet drivers, but does your project require any other files, like the ADO files (MDAC) or other controls of some sort?
Access does not need to be installed on the client.

I'm not sure if this is your problem, but...
Try this:
Look at the directory on your hard disk that contains your database...note all the files. Now, start the database program on your hard disk & look at the directory again. Starting the databse creates a temp file ".LDB". This file is always created in the default database directory. I don't know if it's possible to relocated this file.

Usually error 429 means that the machine is missing dependancy files

I think this is the same thing that happened to me on other computers without Access. In your packaging wizard, you have to include the dcom98 and mdac executables. I don't know if this is why the CD isn't working. Does the CD work on your computer, but not the clients? If so, then it probably wouldn't work even if the database was on the hard drive without the above exe.

BTW, the CD drive is Read-Only. All files in CDROM is read-only.
This is your problem?
