    exe file wont't run perfectly on other PC

    Hi,

    I created my VB application on my pc and make an executable file of it (exe file) to run on other PC. Problem is.... there is this error popping up saying "network or disk error" once i try to run my exe file on other pc... (it runs perfectly normal on my pc though)... What could be the problem? I have included the necessary .ocx and .dll file on the other PC i am running on... I am using VB6 and my application involves SSTAB (Microsoft Dialogue Tabbed Control 6.0), ADODC control, frame, and etc.... Just wondering what does the message "network or disk error" means? Is the exe file corrupted? I tried recreating it but the outcome is still the same...

    Thanks in advance for any information and guide!

    cheers,
    leynie

    Welcome to Forums, leynie!

    How did you distribute your app? Did you build Setup Package? If not then do that first: you can use Package & Deployment Wizard (aka PDW) - it comes shipped with VB or any other utility that you might have.

    Moved from Classic VB forum.

    Since it sounds like your using a database. Did you use a hard coded path in the connectionstring?

    It's possible that you've hardcoded one of the properties on the data control (ConnectionString or RecordSource) that points to a non-existent file or path on the other PC.
